Spark Hive reporting ClassNotFoundException: com.ibm.biginsights.bigsql.sync.BIEventListener

1.4k views Asked by At

I'm attempting to run a pyspark script on BigInsights on Cloud 4.2 Enterprise that accesses a Hive table.

First I create the hive table:

[biadmin@bi4c-xxxxx-mastermanager ~]$ hive
hive> CREATE TABLE pokes (foo INT, bar STRING);
OK
Time taken: 2.147 seconds
hive> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '/usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/doc/examples/files/kv1.txt' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE pokes;
Loading data to table default.pokes
Table default.pokes stats: [numFiles=1, numRows=0, totalSize=5812, rawDataSize=0]
OK
Time taken: 0.49 seconds
hive> 

Then I create a simple pyspark script:

[biadmin@bi4c-xxxxxx-mastermanager ~]$ cat test_pokes.py
from pyspark import SparkContext

sc = SparkContext()

from pyspark.sql import HiveContext
hc = HiveContext(sc)

pokesRdd = hc.sql('select * from pokes')
print( pokesRdd.collect() )

I attempt to execute with:

[biadmin@bi4c-xxxxxx-mastermanager ~]$ spark-submit \
    --master yarn-cluster \
    --deploy-mode cluster \
    --jars /usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/lib/datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar, \
           /usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/lib/datanucleus-core-3.2.10.jar, \
           /usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/lib/datanucleus-rdbms-3.2.9.jar \
    --files /usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/conf/hive-site.xml \
    test_pokes.py

However, I encounter the error:

You must build Spark with Hive. Export 'SPARK_HIVE=true' and run build/sbt assembly

The solution was to use hive-site.xml from the spark-client folder:

[biadmin@bi4c-xxxxxx-mastermanager ~]$ spark-submit \
    --master yarn-cluster \
    --deploy-mode cluster \
    --jars /usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/lib/datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar, \
           /usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/lib/datanucleus-core-3.2.10.jar, \
           /usr/iop/4.2.0.0/hive/lib/datanucleus-rdbms-3.2.9.jar \
    --files /usr/iop/current/spark-client/conf/hive-site.xml \
test_pokes.py
