Hi Dhruv,
I was experiencing the same problem with Ahmed’s and after specifying the datanucleus jars like you said, my Spark application was able to proceed. However, I’m encountering another problem where hiveContext doesn’t seem to find any of my Hive tables. Any select I perform gives me an error: “No such table <table_name>”. I don’t get this problem when running the app in yarn-client mode. Hope you can help.
