Java – Spark SQLContext could not find the hive table

I tried querying the Hive table with a simple Spark job (written in Java).

SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local[*]").setAppName("MyJob");

JavaSparkContext sc = new JavaSparkContext(conf);
SQLContext sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc);

DataFrame df = sqlContext.table("scf");

But when I submit the jar via spark-submit, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.NoSuchTableException
    at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.SimpleCatalog.lookupRelation(Catalog.scala:108)
    at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext.table(SQLContext.scala:831)

    at org.apache.spark.deploy.SparkSubmit$.main(SparkSubmit.scala:121)

I’m sure the table exists. If I run sqlContext.table(“scf”).count in spark-shell, it gives the result.

What could be the problem?

Thanks!

SQLContex does not support Hive. You must use HiveContext or SparkSession that supports Hive.

import org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext

val sqlContext = new HiveContext(sc)
