Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-8528: ----------------------------------- It's mainly for HiveSever2, where there are concurrent client sessions, each having its SparkContext object. SparkContext is heavy, putting memory pressure on HiveServer2, proportionally to the number of active client sessions. With remote SparkContext, the pressure is transfered to remote process. > Add remote Spark client to Hive [Spark Branch] > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-8528 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8528 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Spark > Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin > Assignee: Marcelo Vanzin > Attachments: HIVE-8528.1-spark-client.patch, HIVE-8528.1-spark.patch, > HIVE-8528.2-spark.patch, HIVE-8528.2-spark.patch > > > For the time being, at least, we've decided to build the Spark client (see > SPARK-3215) inside Hive.
