With Spark 1.5.1, I've already been able to access spark-shell temporary tables from Beeline using Thrift Server. I've been able to do so by reading answers to related questions on Stackoverflow.
However, after upgrading to Spark 2.0, I can't see temporary tables from Beeline anymore, here are the steps I'm following.
I'm launching spark-shell using the following command:
./bin/spark-shell --master=myHost.local:7077 —conf spark.sql.hive.thriftServer.singleSession=true
Once the spark shell is ready I enter the following lines to launch thrift server and create a temporary view from a data frame taking its source in a json file
import org.apache.spark.sql.hive.thriftserver._
spark.sqlContext.setConf("hive.server2.thrift.port","10002")
HiveThriftServer2.startWithContext(spark.sqlContext)
val df = spark.read.json("examples/src/main/resources/people.json")
df.createOrReplaceTempView("people")
spark.sql("select * from people").show()
The last statement displays the table, it runs fine.
However when I start beeline and log to my thrift server instance, I can't see any temporary tables:
show tables;
+------------+--------------+--+
| tableName | isTemporary |
+------------+--------------+--+
+------------+--------------+--+
No rows selected (0,658 seconds)
Did I miss something regarding my spark upgrade from 1.5.1 to 2.0, how can I gain access to my temporary tables ?
