I think you will get more answer if you ask without SparkR. You question is independent on SparkR.
Spark support for Hive 3.x (3.1.2) was added here https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/1b404b9b9928144e9f527ac7b1caa15f932c2649 You should be able to connect Spark to Hive metastore. ________________________________ From: Alfredo Marquez <alfredo.g.marq...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 22, 2019 4:26:49 PM To: user@spark.apache.org <user@spark.apache.org> Subject: Re: SparkR integration with Hive 3 spark-r Does anyone else have some insight to this question?

So how do you reconcile this separation of metastores? Can you continue to "enableHivemetastore" and be able to connect to Hive 3? Does this connection take advantage of Hive's LLAP? Our team doesn't believe that it's possible to make the connection as you would in the past. But if it is that simple, I would be ecstatic 😁.

I made several tests on this in the past[1] and it seems to handle any hive metastore version. However spark cannot read hive managed table AKA transactional tables. So I would say you should be able to read any hive 3 regular table with any of spark, pyspark or sparkR.
