I am able to connect by doing the following using the Tableau Initial SQL
and a custom query:

   1.

   First ingest csv file or json and save out to file system:

   import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext
   import com.databricks.spark.csv._
   val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
   val demo = sqlContext.csvFile("/user/data/csv/demo.csv")
   demo.toJSON.saveAsTextFile("/user/data/json/test”)

   2.

   Start $SPARK_HOME/sbin/start-thirftserver:

   ./sbin/start-thriftserver.sh --master spark://radtech.io:7077
--total-executor-cores 2 --driver-class-path --hiveconf
hive.server2.thrift.port=10001 --hiveconf
hive.server2.thrift.bind.host radtech.io

   3.

   Start tableau session. Create a connection to thrift server via SparkSQL
   (Beta) connector.
   4.

   In Tableau add the following to the “Initial SQL”

   create temporary table test
   using org.apache.spark.sql.json
   options (path '/user/data/json/test/*’);

   cache table test;

   1. Refresh connection.

Then select “New Custom SQL” and issue something like:

select * from test;

You will see your table appear.

HTH.
