Hello everyone, We are running a Hive Cluster in a Kerberos environment, that we usually access via ssh from our local machines on windows. I would like to be able to query Hive directly from R on those same windows machines by using the SparkR<https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.5.2/sparkr.html> package: https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.5.2/sparkr.html#from-hive-tables
Does anyone here have some experience doing that? I suspect this might not be the best mailing list to ask this question so don't hesitate to redirect me if needed. I would like to know a) if what I'm trying to achieve is even possible (maybe it's only possible if R is directly installed on the hive cluster, and we use Rstudio Servers?) b) If anyone could point me to a web resource that explains how to setup the SparkContext and / or the HiveContext c) If there is a simpler solution to query Hive from R (for instance, we also use a JDBC connection with Vertica and it works just fine in the setup described above) Sorry if this is a bit off-topic but I'm completely lost in the documentation and I don't know where to ask help :( All the best, Thomas
