> Explain query shouldn't launch a Spark application [Spark Branch]
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-9258
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9258
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Spark
> Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
> Assignee: Jimmy Xiang
>
> Currently for Hive on Spark, query plan includes the number of reducers,
> which is determined partly by the Spark cluster. Thus, explain query will
> need to launch a Spark application (Spark remote context), which is costly.
> To make things worse, the application is discarded right way.
> Ideally, we shouldn't launch a Spark application even for an explain query.
