Can you be a bit more specific how are you going to use Spark. For example as a powerful query tool, Analytics, Data migration.
Spark SQL and Spark-shell provide a subset of Hive SQL (depending on which version of Hive and Spark you have in mind). As a query tool Spark is very powerful as it uses DAG and In-memory computation, provides Scala (and others) as the language. You can create your own uber JAR fie for distribution etc You can of course use Spark as an execution engine for Hive as opposed to map-reduce to take advantage of Spark processing etc etc HTH Dr Mich Talebzadeh LinkedIn * https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw <https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw>* http://talebzadehmich.wordpress.com On 25 May 2016 at 16:34, Aakash Basu <raj2coo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I’m new to the Spark Ecosystem, need to understand the *Pros and Cons *of > fetching data using *SparkSQL vs Hive in Spark vs Spark API.* > > > > *PLEASE HELP!* > > > > Thanks, > > Aakash Basu. >
