Expected behavior

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. server: copy sedona-spark-shaded-3.x_2.12-1.5.x.jar to 'spark/jars'
2. client: connect to spark-thrift-server, eg: beeline -u jdbc:hive2://<...>:<...>
3. client: create table test (geom geometry);

Settings

Apache Spark version = 3.x

Environment = spark-thrift-server

@freamdx Thanks. This is on our radar. This can be done via adding a custom Sedona SQL parser on top of Spark, without forking Spark code. We will add the support in 1.6.1 release.

@freamdx The issue is currently being worked on. Before the fix, I think you can use the following workaround to create the Hive table.

CREATE OR REPLACE TEMP VIEW EMPTY_VIEW AS
SELECT ST_GEOMFROMTEXT(CAST(NULL AS STRING)) AS GEOM
WHERE 1 = 0;

CREATE TABLE T_TEST AS (SELECT * FROM EMPTY_VIEW);
