Insert record to Hive table from Spark

Question

I am trying to insert records into Hive table from Spark ( Scala ). The values that I am trying to insert are structured data that come as a case class.

Here is what I have:

case class rcd(
  request: Int,
  extract_id: Int)
}

Then:

DF.as[rcd].take(DF.count.toInt).foreach(e => { // DF is a dataframe that contains data

if <condition> {
       ss.sql(s"""INSERT INTO mytable select $e.request ,'$e.extract_id'""")
}

I am getting an error:

Undefined function: 'rcd'. This function is neither a registered temporary function nor a permanent function registered in the database 'default'.;

Also, what is the 'default' that Spark mentioned in the previous message

Any comments will be appreciated

Answer 1

Did you register your udf function?

If not please register the udf function with the SQLContext's UDF Registry.

sqlContext.udf.register("RCD", rcd)
