That method is for creating a new directory to hold parquet data when there is no hive metastore available, thus you have to specify the schema.
If you've already created the table in the metastore you can just query it using the sql method: javahiveConxted.sql("SELECT * FROM parquetTable"); You can also load the data as a SchemaRDD without using the metastore since parquet is self describing: javahiveContext.parquetFile(".../path/to/parquetFiles").registerTempTable("parquetData") On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 2:15 AM, Jahagirdar, Madhu < madhu.jahagir...@philips.com> wrote: > Currently the createParquetMethod needs BeanClass as one of the > parameters. > > javahiveContext.createParquetFile(XBean.class, > > > IMPALA_TABLE_LOC, true, new Configuration()) > > > .registerTempTable(TEMP_TABLE_NAME); > > > Is it possible that we dynamically Infer Schema From Hive using hive > context and the table name, then give that Schema ? > > > Regards. > > Madhu Jahagirdar > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------ > The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally > protected under applicable law.
