Query regarding Temporary table s metadata in HIVE

0 votes

Hi,

Suppose I have created a temporary table in HIVE and used that table for further processing. If i create a temporary table where does the schema (or) Metadata gets stored, does it created in an External RDBMS table or in HDFS? 

If in HDFS where does that reside?

Registered tables are not cached in memory.  The registerTempTable createOrReplaceTempView method will just create or replace a view of the given DataFrame with a given query plan. It will convert the query plan to canonicalized SQL string, and store it as view text in metastore, if we need to create a permanent view. 

You'll need to cache your DataFrame explicitly. e.g :

df.createOrReplaceTempView("my_table") # df.registerTempTable("my_table") for spark <2.+

spark.cacheTable("my_table")

Let's illustrate this with an example :

Using cacheTable :

scala> val df = Seq(("1",2),("b",3)).toDF

// df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [_1: string, _2: int]

scala> sc.getPersistentRDDs

// res0: scala.collection.Map[Int,org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[_]] = Map()


scala> df.createOrReplaceTempView("my_table")


scala> sc.getPersistentRDDs

// res2: scala.collection.Map[Int,org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[_]] = Map()

scala> spark.cacheTable("my_table")

scala> sc.getPersistentRDDs

// res4: scala.collection.Map[Int,org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[_]] = Map(2 -> In-memory table my_table MapPartitionsRDD[2] at cacheTable at <console>:26)

Now the same example using cache.registerTempTable cache.createOrReplaceTempView :

scala> sc.getPersistentRDDs

// res2: scala.collection.Map[Int,org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[_]] = Map()


scala> val df = Seq(("1",2),("b",3)).toDF

// df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [_1: string, _2: int]


scala> df.createOrReplaceTempView("my_table")


scala> sc.getPersistentRDDs

// res4: scala.collection.Map[Int,org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[_]] = Map()


scala> df.cache.registerTempTable("my_table")


scala> sc.getPersistentRDDs

// res6: scala.collection.Map[Int,org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[_]] =

// Map(2 -> ConvertToUnsafe

// +- LocalTableScan [_1#0,_2#1], [[1,2],[b,3]]

// MapPartitionsRDD[2] at cache at <console>:28)
