Hive on Spark at CDH 5.3

Listen:

However, since Hive on Spark is not (yet) officially supported by Cloudera some manual steps are required to get Hive on Spark within CDH 5.3 working. Please note that there are four important requirements additionally to the hands-on work:

  1. Spark Gateway nodes needs to be a Hive Gateway node as well
  2. In case the client configurations are redeployed, you need to copy the hive-site.xml again
  3. In case CDH is upgraded (also for minor patches, often updated without noticing you), you need to adjust the class paths
  4. Hive libraries need to be present on all executors (CM should take care of this automatically)

Login to your spark server(s) and copy the running hive-site.xml to spark:

cp /etc/hive/conf/hive-site.xml /etc/spark/conf/

Start your spark shell with (replace <CDH_VERSION> with your parcel version, e.g. 5.3.2-1.cdh5.3.2.p0.10) and load the hive context within spark-shell:

spark-shell --master yarn-client --driver-class-path "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-<CDH_VERSION>/lib/hive/lib/*" --conf spark.executor.extraClassPath="/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-<CDH_VERSION>/lib/hive/lib/*"
..
scala> val hive = new org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext(sc)
sql: org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext = org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext@1c966488

scala> var s1 = hive.sql("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sample_07").collect()
s1: Array[org.apache.spark.sql.Row] = Array([823])

Why Is Customer Obsession Disappearing?

 It's wild that even with all the cool tech we've got these days, like AI solving complex equations and doing business across time zones in a flash, so many companies are still struggling with the basics: taking care of their customers.The drama around Coinbase's customer support is a prime example of even tech giants messing up. And it's not just Coinbase — it's a big-picture issue for the whole industry. At some point, the idea of "customer obsession" got replaced with "customer automation," and now we're seeing the problems that came with it. "Cases" What Not to Do Coinbase, as main example, has long been synonymous with making cryptocurrency accessible. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned trader, their platform was once the gold standard for user experience. But lately, their customer support practices have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons: Coinbase - Stuck in the Loop:  Users have reported being caugh...

MySQL Scaling in 2024

When your MySQL database reaches its performance limits, vertical scaling through hardware upgrades provides a temporary solution. Long-term growth, though, requires a more comprehensive approach. This involves optimizing the database strategically and integrating complementary technologies. Caching The implementation of a caching layer, such as Memcached or Redis , can result in a notable reduction in the load and an increase ni performance at MySQL. In-memory stores cache data that is accessed frequently, enabling near-instantaneous responses and freeing the database for other tasks. For applications with heavy read traffic on relatively static data (e.g. product catalogues, user profiles), caching represents a low-effort, high-impact solution. Consider a online shop product catalogue with thousands of items. With each visit to the website, the application queries the database in order to retrieve product details. By using caching, the retrieved details can be stored in Memcached (a...

Can AI Really Code?

My upcoming novel,  Catalyst , is set in a world where AI is a major player in shaping the human future. I did some research into how AI is currently being used in software development and found that it has some amazing capabilities, but also some limitations that are a bit concerning. I'd even go so far as to say that those models are a bit of a hoax. They're impressive, but they don't actually solve anything. Yes, AI coding assistants like Devin and Copilot are impressive in demos and demo videos. In reality, they're not as powerful as you'd think, but they're great for simple tasks like crafting email parsing functions or authentication flows. However, I ran into some issues when I tried to use it in more complex situations. When I asked the AI to " write a connector from a database to ingest data into Spark ," it didn't understand and made mistakes. And that is a pure, simple and so well documented task that every non-coder could do that by sim...
