save Spark dataframe to Hive: table not readable because “parquet not a SequenceFile”

Question

I\'d like to save data in a Spark (v 1.3.0) dataframe to a Hive table using PySpark.

The documentation states:

\"spark.sql.hive.convertMetasto

Answer 1

metadata doesn't already exist. In other words, it will add any partitions that exist on HDFS but not in metastore, to the hive metastore.
