Hive on Spark
The Hive on Spark project was created to enable existing Hive users to run hive queries directly on the Spark execution engine instead of MapReduce.
Hive on Spark (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7292) is supported in the Cloudera distribution. To start using the service, change the execution to Spark in the Hive or beeline client:
hive> set hive.execution.engine=spark; 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default> set hive.execution.engine=spark;
