Hi,

Does Hortonworks recommend hive queries which where previously running on tez to be changed to run on spark engine? What are the draawbacks? How beneficial it is, if it is? I just tried to simple select query on a table after setting I am gettibg following error:

@PJ

Are you setting:

set hive.execution.engine=spark;

Hive's execution engine only supports MapReduce & Tez. Running with Spark is not supported in HDP at this current moment in time.
