Hi Jack, zeppelin.spark.useHiveContext propety was hard coded so I made a PR to fix this issue
https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/87 With this PR you can set zeppelin.spark.useHiveContext to be false by adding one of below two lines in conf/zeppelin-env.sh: export ZEPPELIN_JAVA_OPTS="-Dzeppelin.spark.useHiveContext=false" export ZEPPELIN_SPARK_USEHIVECONTEXT=false Hi, I noticed zeppelin.spark.useHiveContext defaults to true, but let's say I want to have it turned off by default. I tried adding the following to the zeppelin-env.sh environment file: export ZEPPELIN_JAVA_OPTS="-Dspark.executor.memory=6g -Dzeppelin.spark.maxResult=0 -Dzeppelin.spark.useHiveContext=false" but it seems it's not modifying the spark interpreter defaults. Again, I'm trying to avoid having to go in and change it everytime manually, is there a way to set these variables beforehand? Thanks! Jack
