My issue is similar to the issue as noted http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-spark-user/201406.mbox/%3ccadoad2ks9_qgeign5-w7xogmrotrlbchvfukctgstj5qp9q...@mail.gmail.com%3E.
Currently using Spark-1.1 (grabbed from git two days ago) and using Hive 0.12 with my metastore in MySQL. If I run any HiveContext statements, it results in cannot find the driver in CLASSPATH error. If I include it via —jars then it gives me the error “no suitable driver”. Any ideas on how to get the Hive context to work here? Thanks! Denny
