How to connect Spark SQL to remote Hive metastore (via thrift protocol) with no hive-site.xml?

Question

I\'m using HiveContext with SparkSQL and I\'m trying to connect to a remote Hive metastore, the only way to set the hive metastore is through including the hive-site.xml on

Answer 1

Spark Version : 2.0.2

Hive Version : 1.2.1

Below Java code worked for me to connect to Hive metastore from Spark:

import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession;

public class SparkHiveTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SparkSession spark = SparkSession
                  .builder()
                  .appName("Java Spark Hive Example")
                  .config("spark.master", "local")
                  .config("hive.metastore.uris",                
                   "thrift://abc123.com:9083")
                  .config("spark.sql.warehouse.dir", "/apps/hive/warehouse")
                  .enableHiveSupport()
                  .getOrCreate();

        spark.sql("SELECT * FROM default.survey_data limit 5").show();
    }
}
