Error in reading database through hive using pyspark

Logica — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:31:58 GMT

I am using spark 2.3.2 and i am trying to read tables from database. I established spark connection.

But i am unable to read database tables from HUE cloudera and unable to query them in pyspark as well.

Here is my code,

import findspark
findspark.init('C:\spark-2.3.2-bin-hadoop2.7\spark-2.3.2-bin-hadoop2.7')
import pyspark
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.config("hive.metastore.uris", "thrift://10.1.1.70:8888").enableHiveSupport().getOrCreate()
#spark.catalog.listTables("tp_policy_operation")
import pandas as pd
sc = spark.sparkContext
sc

from pyspark import SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
sql_sc = SQLContext(sc)
SparkContext.setSystemProperty("hive.metastore.uris", "thrift://10.1.1.70:8888")
spark.sql("SELECT * FROM tp_policy_operation")

######The error i am getting

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<ipython-input-4-8f0aa5852b01>", line 16, in <module>
spark.sql("SELECT * FROM tp_policy_operation")## Database ?

AnalysisException: 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException;'

Kindly help me resolve the issue or guide me the changes in the code above.

Hi @Logica .

please check whether database is selected or not for running the query-

below is code for reading hive table -

from pyspark.conf import SparkConf from pyspark.context import SparkContext from pyspark.sql import HiveContext sc= SparkContext('local','example') hc = HiveContext(sc) tf1 = sc.textFile("/user/BigData/nooo/SparkTest/train.csv") #print(tf1.show(10)) #here reading hive table from pyspark #print(data) #data=tf1.top(10) #print(data) hc.sql("use default") #selected db here spf = hc.sql("SELECT * FROM tempaz LIMIT 100") print(spf.show(5))

Thanks

I changed the port no from 8888 to 9083 and it is working fine but when i tried to show the query result it shows;

df.show()
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<ipython-input-12-1a6ce2362cd4>", line 1, in <module>

Hi @Logica .

I think you need keep hive-site.xml file into spark -

Please follow the below steps for running the hive query or accessing the hive table through pyspark-
