<h2 id="hive-tables">Hive Tables</h2>
<p>Spark SQL also supports reading and writing data stored in <a href="http://hive.apache.org/">Apache Hive</a>.
However, since Hive has a large number of dependencies, it is not included in the default Spark assembly.
In order to use Hive you must first run ‘<code>SPARK_HIVE=true sbt/sbt assembly/assembly</code>’ (or use <code>-Phive</code> for maven).
This command builds a new assembly jar that includes Hive. Note that this Hive assembly jar must also be present
on all of the worker nodes, as they will need access to the Hive serialization and deserialization libraries
(SerDes) in order to acccess data stored in Hive.</p>
<p>Configuration of Hive is done by placing your <code>hive-site.xml</code> file in <code>conf/</code>.</p>
<div class="codetabs">
<div data-lang="scala">
<p>When working with Hive one must construct a <code>HiveContext</code>, which inherits from <code>SQLContext</code>, and
adds support for finding tables in in the MetaStore and writing queries using HiveQL. Users who do
not have an existing Hive deployment can also experiment with the <code>LocalHiveContext</code>,
which is similar to <code>HiveContext</code>, but creates a local copy of the <code>metastore</code> and <code>warehouse</code>

<p>When working with Hive one must construct a <code>HiveContext</code>, which inherits from <code>SQLContext</code>, and
adds support for finding tables in in the MetaStore and writing queries using HiveQL. In addition to
the <code>sql</code> method a <code>HiveContext</code> also provides an <code>hql</code> methods, which allows queries to be
expressed in HiveQL.</p>

<p>The DSL uses Scala symbols to represent columns in the underlying table, which are identifiers
prefixed with a tick (<code>'</code>). Implicit conversions turn these symbols into expressions that are
evaluated by the SQL execution engine. A full list of the functions supported can be found in the
<a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.SchemaRDD">ScalaDoc</a>.</p>
