How to create a table as select in pyspark.sql

问题

Is it possible to create a table on spark using a select statement?

I do the following

import findspark
findspark.init()
import pyspark
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext

sc = pyspark.SparkContext()
sqlCtx = SQLContext(sc)

spark_df = sqlCtx.read.format('com.databricks.spark.csv').options(header='true', inferschema='true').load("./data/documents_topics.csv")
spark_df.registerTempTable("my_table")

sqlCtx.sql("CREATE TABLE my_table_2 AS SELECT * from my_table")

but I get the error

回答1:

I've corrected this issue by using HiveContext instead of SQLContext as below:

import findspark
findspark.init()
import pyspark
from pyspark.sql import HiveContext

sqlCtx= HiveContext(sc)

spark_df = sqlCtx.read.format('com.databricks.spark.csv').options(header='true', inferschema='true').load("./data/documents_topics.csv")
spark_df.registerTempTable("my_table")

sqlCtx.sql("CREATE TABLE my_table_2 AS SELECT * from my_table")

You should first do a select and assign it to a dataframe variable and then register it with registerTempTable as you do with the dataframe created from the CSV file
