Building Spark session fails with Hadoop 3 because of Hive Shims

[mikitakandratsiuk]

Using version 2.4.5_0.14.0
There is an issue during creation of Spark Session object. As can be seen here, Spark Session has enableHiveSupport by default. This calls the org.spark-project.hive:hive-exec:1.2.1.spark2 library (specifically Hive Shims) which is not compatible with Hadoop 3 and causes "Unrecognized Hadoop major version number" error.

This makes spark-testing-base unusable with Hadoop 3 (especially when Hive is not required for the project at all).

The stack trace is below:

@mikitakandratsiuk were you able to find any solution for this?

@mavericksid, it's been a long time since I've raised this issue, so I don't really remember. Here is the comment that I found in my code, hope it helps:

I've excluded complete org.spark-project.hive from Holdenkarau and substituted it with org.apache.hive:hive-exec:3.1.2 and org.apache.hive:hive-metastore:3.1.2.

build.sbt - libraryDependencies:

"com.holdenkarau" %% "spark-testing-base" % s"${sparkVersion}_0.14.0" % Test
   // exclude Hive (especially Hive Shims) because of "IllegalArgumentException: Unrecognized Hadoop major version number: 3.2.1" error (add real Hive dependency below instead)
   // the reason is that Hive dependency is added by Spark-Hive 2.4.5, where Hive doesn't support Hadoop 3
   excludeAll ExclusionRule("org.spark-project.hive")

"org.apache.hive" % "hive-metastore" % "3.1.2" % Test,
"org.apache.hive" % "hive-exec" % "3.1.2" % Test,
