Unable to see data from spark beeline for a hive orc table

Question

I have created an orc hive table as below:

• create table forest41 (id int, type string) clustered by (id) into 2 buckets stored as orc TBLPROPERTIES ('transactional'='true');

  insert into table forest41 values (1,'red'),(2,'white'),(3,'black');

Now when i am trying to see the data from spark beeline: It does not show me any data nor does it throw any exception.

Following is the query i ran : select * from default.forest40 limit 10

But in the spark jobs console: It shows one of the jobs related to the above query - Skipped Stages (1) -- Spark JDBC Server Query

Answer 1

You created hive table with hive's bucket feature but Spark doesn't support.
