Attempting to use Spark SQL's JDBC data source against the Hive ThriftServer results in a
java.sql.SQLException: Methodnot supported exception fromorg.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveResultSetMetaData.isSigned. Here are two user reports of this issue:I have filed HIVE-14684 to attempt to fix this in Hive by implementing the isSigned method, but in the meantime / for compatibility with older JDBC drivers I think we should add special-case error handling to work around this bug.
This patch updates
JDBCRDD'sResultSetMetadatato schema conversion to catch the "Method not supported" exception from Hive and returnisSigned = true. I believe that this is safe because, as far as I know, Hive does not support unsigned numeric types.How was this patch tested?
Tested manually against a Spark Thrift Server.
