must build Spark with Hive (spark 1.5.0)

Question

downloaded spark 1.5.0 pre-built and run via pyspark this simple code

from pyspark.sql import Row
l = [('Alice', 1)]
sqlContext.createDataFrame(l).collect

Yields error:

15/09/30 06:48:48 INFO Datastore: The class "org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.model.MResourceUri" is tagged as "embedded-only" so do
es not have its own datastore table.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\bigdata\spark-1.5\spark-1.5.0\python\pyspark\sql\context.py", line 408, in createDataFrame
    jdf = self._ssql_ctx.applySchemaToPythonRDD(jrdd.rdd(), schema.json())

 while calling None.org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext.\n', JavaObject id=o28))

so tried to compile it myself

c:\bigdata\spark-1.5\spark-1.5.0>.\build\apache-maven-3.3.3\bin\mvn  -Phadoop-2.4 -Dhadoop.version=2.4.0 -DskipTests -Phive -Phive-t

hriftserver clean package

but still get the same error on the compiled version.

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

add these line after importing the row

from pyspark import  SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
sc = SparkContext( 'local', 'pyspark')
sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)
