How to access the HIVE ACID table in Spark sql?

Question

How could you access the HIVE ACID table, in Spark sql?

Answer 1

We have worked on and open sourced a datasource that will enable users to work on their Hive ACID Transactional tables using Spark.

Github: https://github.com/qubole/spark-acid

It is available as a Spark package and instructions to use it are on the Github page. Currently the datasource supports only reading from Hive ACID tables, and we are working on adding the ability to write into these tables via Spark as well.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
