Thanks a lot Michael for giving a solution.
If I want to provide my own schema, can I do that?

Easiest is to just use SQL:
hiveContext.sql("CREATE TABLE <tableName> USING parquet OPTIONS (path
'<path>')")
When you specify the path its automatically created as an external table. The
schema will be discovered.

Hi,I want to create an external hive table using HiveContext. I have the
following :1. full path/location of parquet data directory2. name of the new
table3. I can get the schema as well.
What API will be the best (for 1,3.x or 1.4.x)? I can see 6
createExternalTable() APIs but not sure which one will be the best.I didn't
find any good documentation in source code or Java doc about the parameters of
the APIs (i.e path, source, options etc); Any help will be appreciated.
