[SAP Hana Vora] Spark version

[former_member182832]

Hello,

we are integrating our hadoop platform to SAP Hana DB.

We have a hadoop cluster managed by CDH 5.7 (the latest version). Also all nodes are using Linux SLES 11 SP4.

After Installing SAP hana Vora and activating all services we tried to test it via Spark Interpreter (Scala) but it seems it is not working with Spark 1.6 version (only 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2 are supported). To fix that we are trying to downgrade spark or to install other spark environment.

But to use Spark Controller, SAP said that version 1.5.x of the controller supports only version 1.4.x of spark. (Install Spark Assembly Files and Dependent Libraries - SAP HANA Administration Guide - SAP Library).

I am confused because the only way to connect SAP Hana Vora with Hana Data base is through SPARK Controller which support only version 1.4.x of spark but Vora also works only with Spark version 1.5.x.

Before trying to downgrade Spark I need to understand which version should I use to have both Spark Controller and SAP Hana Vora work.

Does anyone tried this scenario with the new vora implementation (1.2.1)?

Our goal is to connect our Hadoop platform to SAP Hana DB.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Mehdi.

Hi,

Let me try to clarify:

• Vora 1.2 only runs with Spark 1.5.2
• You can use Spark Controller 1.5 Patch 5 (see SAP Note 2273047) or Spark Controller 1.6 (see SAP Note 2318054) with Vora 1.2. Both Spark Controller versions run with Spark 1.5.2 and require HANA SPS11+

Hi Frank,

Thank you for your answer.

Now we have sparkcontroller with Apache Spark 1.5 and it works well.

For SAP hana vora we will adapt the script to use Spark 1.5 as well.

Thank you,
