I am using HDP-3.0. In previous versions hive.execution.engine was mapreduce/tez. Now in hdp3.0 that selection drop down is not there and default one is tez. some where i read that hive in hdp3.0 support tez(default),llap,spark. Is there any provision to directly set spark as the execution engine.

Thanks & Regards
Rahul

I found this: https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/91550/hive-execution-engine-set-to-spark-is-recommended....

Maybe @Jay Kumar SenSharma can provide a hint if there has something changed on the Spark support in hdp since last year.

Otherwise the documentation on how to set up spark as execution engine for hive is described here:

@Rahul P Could you please point me to the doc which says we can use spark in hive as execution engine?

AFAIK we don't have option directly to set spark execution in hive.

What is new is a HiveWarehouseConnector for Spark. Since all the tables in Hive will be transactional form HDP3.0, A HiveWarehouseConnector was introduced in spark to access hive tables.

Thanks for pointing to the doc @Rahul P. The image is bit confusing(will try to get this updated). However as i said in my earlier comment Spark on Hive doesn't work out of the box.

Hope this helps.

@Rahul P The doc is now corrected: https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP3/HDP-3.0.0/hive-overview/content/hive-apache-hive-3-ar...

Eventually, you set spark as the execution engine?

I've set up the configuration item, but it doesn't work.
