Michael: Thanks for the quick response. I can confirm that once I removed the “order by” clause the exception below went away. So, I believe this confirms what you were say and I will be opening a new feature request in JIRA.
However, that exception was replaced by a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error. I am guessing this relates to any of the following Issues: SPARK-2902 Change default options to be more agressive (In memory columnar compression) SPARK-3056 Sort-based Aggregation (SparkSQL only support the hash-based aggregation, which may cause OOM if too many identical keys in the input tuples.) SPARK-2926 Add MR-style (merge-sort) SortShuffleReader for sort-based shuffle The Exception is included below.

Is this parquet data that was generated by impala that you would expect to be a String? If so turn on spark.sql.parquet.binaryAsString<http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#configuration>. Otherwise you could file a JIRA asking us to add support for sorting binary data (or both :) ).

I have run into an exception (listed below) that I suspect relates to the number of columns in the table I am querying. There are 336 columns in the table. I have included the Scala / Spark SQL I am running. This Spark SQL code runs just fine when run against “narrower” tables. Also, we have purpose built this POC cluster with lots of memory and we have set up Impala and Spark SQL with roughly the same amounts of memory. There are 7 worker nodes with 20GB memory for Impala and Spark SQL each. We are using Impala as a comparative benchmark and sanity check. The equivalent SQL runs just fine in Impala (see below). I am a bit of a noob and any help (even with the code below) is greatly appreciated. Also, is there a document that lists current Spark SQL limitations/issues?
