When char will be availble in Spark

[Dr Mich Talebzadeh <mi...@cloudtechnologypartners.co.uk>]

Hi,

I am using spark on Hive. Some tables have CHAR type characters. It is my
understanding that spark converts varchar characters to String internally
however the Spark version 1.5.2 that I have throws error when the
underlying Hive table has CHAR fields.

I wanted to when Varchar will be available in Spark.

Also Spark does not seem to understand temporary tables. For example the
following throws error

spark-sql> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp AS
         > SELECT t.calendar_month_desc, c.channel_desc,
SUM(s.amount_sold) AS TotalSales
         > FROM sales s, times t, channels c
         > WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
         > AND   s.channel_id = c.channel_id
         > GROUP BY t.calendar_month_desc, c.channel_desc
         > ;
Error in query: Unhandled clauses: TEMPORARY 1, 2,2, 7
.
You are likely trying to use an unsupported Hive feature.";

Thanks,


Dr Mich Talebzadeh
