Feature Support

MapR does not support Hive on Spark. Therefore, you cannot use Spark as an execution engine for Hive. However, you can run Hive and Spark on the same cluster. You can also use Spark SQL and Drill to query Hive tables.

b77136e 2016-07-13 MAPR-23970: When running a query, checks are now included to determine if current filesystem is non-local before running getScratchDir() method, which assumes the filesystem is not local.
c1175423 2016-06-06 MAPR-23560: Symbolic links to the PID files to track memory utilization of HiveServer2 and HiveMetaStore processes are now available in /opt/mapr/pid.

0304149f 2016-05-20 MAPR-22357: The issue causing -1 to be returned is now fixed:
  • The property, hive.rpc.query.plan in hive-site.xml file, can be set to true to specify whether to send the query plan via local resource or RPC.
  • The parameter, hive.kryo.buffer.size in hive-site.xml file, can be used to control Kryo buffer size. The default value for Kryo buffer size is now 10 * 4096.

The following issues were backported from Apache Hive-1.2.2. You may also refer to the Apache Hive 1.2.2 Release Notes.
