Hi, On our production environment, we have a unique problems related to Spark SQL, and I wonder if anyone can give me some idea what is the best way to handle this. Our production Hadoop cluster is IBM BigInsight Version 3, which comes with Hadoop 2.2.0 and Hive 0.12. Right now, we build spark 1.3.1 ourselves and point to the above versions during the build. Now, here is the problem related to Spark SQL that it cannot query partitioned Hive tables. It has no problem to query non-partitioned Hive tables in Spark SQL. The error in the Spark SQL for querying partitioned Hive tables like following: javax.jdo.JDODataStoreException: Error executing SQL query "select PARTITIONS.PART_ID from PARTITIONS inner join TBLS on PARTITIONS.TBL_ID = TBLS.TBL_ID inner join DBS on TBLS.DB_ID = DBS.DB_ID where TBLS.TBL_NAME = ? and DBS.NAME = ?". at org.datanucleus.api.jdo.NucleusJDOHelper.getJDOExceptionForNucleusException(NucleusJDOHelper.java:451) at org.datanucleus.api.jdo.JDOQuery.executeWithArray(JDOQuery.java:321) ...............NestedThrowablesStackTrace:com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlSyntaxErrorException: DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-204, SQLSTATE=42704, SQLERRMC=CATALOG.PARTITIONS, DRIVER=4.17.36 The Hive metadata of BigInsight V3 is stored in DB2 (Don't ask me why, as it is from IBM), and the above error from DB2 simple means "Table NOT FOUND".If I change the above query like following: select PARTITIONS.PART_ID from HIVE.PARTITIONS as PARTITIONS inner join HIVE.TBLS as TBLS on PARTITIONS.TBL_ID = TBLS.TBL_ID inner join HIVE.DBS as DBS on TBLS.DB_ID = DBS.DB_ID where TBLS.TBL_NAME = ? and DBS.NAME = ? and the query will work without any problem. My guess is that IBM changed some part of Hive, to make it can use DB2 as the underline database for Hive. In DB2, it has DB instance, schema and objects. In fact, table "PARTITIONS", "TBLS" and "DBS" are all existed in the DB2, but under "HIVE" schema. Funny thing is that for unpartitioned table, the Spark SQL just works fine with DB2 as Hive metadata store. So my options are: 1) Wait for IBM V4.0, which will include Spark, and they will make it work, but don't know when that will happen.2) Build Spark with the Hive jar provided from IBM BigInsight, assume these hive jars will work with DB2?3) Modify some part of Spark SQL code, to make it works with DB2? My feeling is option 3 is the best, but not sure where to start.
