Spark和Hive集成使用时mysql驱动包无法加载解决办法

我们在处理离线数据分析时，一般做法是用正则等处理数据，把最终结果保存到Hive仓库。Spark应用程序调用Hive，用Sprk sql进行查询分析。
第一次集成时，报无法找到合适的驱动错误：

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/metastore?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true

经检查，mysql驱动包已经放到spark目录下，并且使用 –jars参数加载：

bin/spark-shell  --jars  externaljars/mysql-connector-java-5.1.27-bin.jar   --master local[2]

分析原因，可能是–jars没有加载上驱动，改成 –driver-class-path加载：

bin/spark-shell  --jars  externaljars/mysql-connector-java-5.1.27-bin.jar   --master local[2]

问题解决，启动成功。
