loading SparkR data frame in Hive

I need to load the DataFrame created in SparkR to be loaded in Hive.

#created a dataframe df_test
df_test <- createDataFrame(sqlContext, data.frame(mon = c(1,2,3,4,5), year = c(2011,2012,2013,2014,2015)))

#initialized the Hive context
>sc <- sparkR.init()
>hiveContext <- sparkRHive.init(sc)

#used the saveAsTable fn to save dataframe "df_test" in hive table named "table_hive"
>saveAsTable(df_test, "table_hive")

16/08/24 23:08:36 ERROR RBackendHandler: saveAsTable on 13 failed Error in invokeJava(isStatic = FALSE, objId$id, methodName, ...) : java.lang.RuntimeException: Tables created with SQLContext must be TEMPORARY. Use a HiveContext instead. at scala.sys.package$.error(package.scala:27) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.SparkStrategies$DDLStrategy$.apply(SparkStrategies.scala:392) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.planning.QueryPlanner$$anonfun$1.apply(QueryPlanner.scala:58) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.planning.QueryPlanner$$anonfun$1.apply(QueryPlanner.scala:58) at scala.collection.Iterator$$anon$13.hasNext(Iterator.scala:371) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.planning.QueryPlanner.plan(QueryPlanner.scala:59) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.QueryExecution.sparkPlan$lzycompute(QueryExecution.scala:47) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.QueryExecution.sparkPlan(QueryExecution.scala:45) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.QueryExecution.executedPlan$lzycompute(QueryExecution.scala:52) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.QueryExecution.executedPlan(QueryExecution.scala:52) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution

Throws the above error. Kindly help.

Having HiveContext in scope is not enough. Each data frame is bound to a specific SQLContext / SparkSession instance and df_test is clearly created with different context than hiveContext

Lets illustrate that with an example:

 Welcome to
    ____              __ 
   / __/__  ___ _____/ /__ 
  _\ \/ _ \/ _ `/ __/  '_/ 
 /___/ .__/\_,_/_/ /_/\_\   version  1.6.1 
    /_/ 


 Spark context is available as sc, SQL context is available as sqlContext
> library(magrittr)
> createDataFrame(sqlContext, mtcars) %>% saveAsTable("foo")
16/08/24 20:22:13 ERROR RBackendHandler: saveAsTable on 22 failed
Error in invokeJava(isStatic = FALSE, objId$id, methodName, ...) :
