I want to create/access the hive tables from spark. I have placed the hive-site.xml inside the spark/conf directory. Even though it creates a local metastore in the directory where I run the spark shell and exists with an error.
I am getting this error when I try to create a new hive table. Even on querying a existing table error appears. sqlContext.sql("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS src (key INT, value STRING)") Please suggest what wrong I am doing and a way to resolve this. 15/02/12 10:35:58 ERROR RetryingHMSHandler: MetaException(message:file:/user/hive/warehouse/src is not a directory or unable to create one) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.create_table_core(HiveMetaStore.java:1239) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.create_table_with_environment_context(HiveMetaStore.java:1294) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606)
