我的目标是让beeline命令行实用程序通过spark-thrift服务器工作，使用hadoop作为底层数据存储，我让它工作起来。我的设置如下：

Hadoop  <-->  Spark  <-->  SparkThriftServer  <--> beeline

我想以这样一种方式配置spark，它使用hadoop处理beeline命令行实用程序中运行的所有查询。诀窍是在spark-defaults.xml中指定以下属性。

spark.sql.warehouse.dir hdfs://localhost:9000/user/hive/warehouse

默认情况下，spark对元数据和数据本身（在spark中称为仓库）都使用derby，为了让spark使用hadoop作为仓库，我必须添加这个属性。
下面是一个示例输出
