TIMESTAMP column issue CDH5 vs CDH6 in parquet table - apache-spark

We recently upgraded our server from CDH 5 to CDH 6 . When inserting data to TIMESTAMP columns using SPARK in parquet tables there is difference how data is inserted.
CDH 5:
HIVE:
If we insert 2019-01-30 to TIMESTAMP column of parquet table and select data from Hive value is '2019-01-30 00:00:00 0'
CDH 6:
HIVE:
If we insert 2019-01-30 to TIMESTAMP column of parquet table and select data from HIVE value is '2019-01-30 04:00:00'
IMPALA:
If we insert 2019-01-30 to TIMESTAMP column of parquet table and select data from IMPALA value is '2019-01-30 04:00:00'
Please let me know if there is any spark properties we can use . My primary goal is to match HIVE value in CDH5 vs CDH6 and If possible when we select from IMPALA if should be 2019-01-30 00:00:00'

To skip issues with data type between Spark and Hive the convention used by Spark to write Parquet data is configurable.
This is determined by the property spark.sql.parquet.writeLegacyFormat. The default value is false. If set to true, Spark will use the same convention as Hive for writing the Parquet data.
val spark = SparkSession
.builder()
.appName("MyApp")
.master("local[*]")
.config("spark.sql.shuffle.partitions","200") //Change to a more reasonable default number of partitions for our data
.config("spark.sql.parquet.writeLegacyFormat", true)

pyspark hive.table not reading all row of hive table

I am using hive llap(https://github.com/hortonworks-spark/spark-llap) in pyspark to read hive internal table like this:
df = hive.table(<tableName>)
But the issue is that my table has 18 million records, but when I do
df.count()
I just get 7.5 million as count which is wrong
You might have to refresh spark metastore which does not utilize the hive metastore and the stats might be just stale
You can refresh the pyspark metastore like this :
spark.sql("REFRESH TABLE <TABLE_NAME>")

Issue with Spark dataframe loading timestamp data to hive table

I am trying to load a dataframe to hive table. But it is adding additional 30 minutes to the table.
I have tried the below
from pyspark import SparkContext,HiveContext
sc = SparkContext()
hive_context = HiveContext(sc)
df_load.write.mode("append").saveAsTable("default.DATA_LOAD")
the df_load has a column "currenthour" with value "2020-09-01 09:00:00". But in the table, it is loaded as "2020-09-01 09:30:00".
How to resolve this issue.
Its a common issue with Timestamp datatype because of the timezone.

Spark SQL to Hive table - Datetime Field Hours Bug

Spark SQL query returns output although hive table does not contain enough records on queried column

I got output from spark SQL query despite the fact that the actual hive table doesn't contain enough records on queried column. The hive table is partitioned by integer column date_nbr which contains values like 20181125, 20181005 for some reason I had to truncate the table (Note: I did not delete the partitions directory in HDFS) and reload the table for the week date_nbr=20181202
After data load I run below query on hive and got expected result
SELECT DISTINCT date_nbr FROM transdb.temp
date_nbr
20181202
but spark SQL doesn't give the same output as hive
scala> spark.sql("SELECT DISTINCT date_nbr FROM transdb.temp").map(_.getAs[Int](0)).collect.toList
res9: List[Int] = List(20181125, 20181005, 20181202)
I'm bit confused by the spark sql result.

Spark: Record count mismatch

I am quite confused because I am facing a weird situation.
My spark application reads data from an Oracle database and load it into a dataframe using this instruction:
private val df = spark.read.jdbc(
url = [the jdbc url],
table="(" + [the query] + ") qry",
properties= [the oracle driver]
)
Then, I save in a variable the number of records in this dataframe:
val records = df.count()
The I create a hive table ([my table]) with the dataframe schema, and I dump the content of the dataframe on it:
df.write
.mode(SaveMode.Append)
.insertInto([my hive db].[my table])
Well, here is where I am lost; When I perform a select count(*) to the hive table where the dataframe is being loaded, "sometimes" there are a few records more in hive than in the records variable.
Can you think on what could be the source of this mismatch??
*Related to the possible duplicate, my question is different. I am not counting my dataframe many times with different values. I count the records on my dataframe once. I dump the dataframe into hive, and I count the records in the hive table, and sometimes there are more in hive than in my count.*
Thank you very much in advance.

what's the number of partitions when spark sql read a hive table?

After reading up on this answer , i know the number of partitions when reading data from Hive will be decided by the HDFS blockSize.
But i meet a problem: i use spark sql to read a hive table, and save the data to an new hive table, but the two hive tables have different partition numbers when loaded by spark sql.
val data = spark.sql("select * from src_table")
val partitionsNum = data.rdd.getNumPartitions
println(partitionsNum)
val newData = data
newData.write.mode("overwrite").format("parquet").saveAsTable("new_table")
I don't understand the same data, why different partition numbers.
