Create MongoDB External View using SparkSQL Only - mongodb

Question

I'm trying to query MongoDB using Spark SQL shell. I have a limitation that I can only use SQL: no Scala, Python, etc. I intend to use Thrift, but for proof of concept, I am using spark-sql. I'm using EMR with Spark version 2.4.4. More info:
Using Scala version 2.11.12, OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, 1.8.0_242

Url git#aws157git.com:/pkg/Aws157BigTop
Type --help for more information.
I start my shell with a pointer to MongoDB Spark maven coordinates:
spark-sql --packages org.mongodb.spark:mongo-spark-connector_2.12:2.4.1 --conf spark.mongodb.input.uri=mongodb://something.real/development?readPreference=secondary
Spark SQL seems to recognise the jar, via the logs:
org.mongodb.spark#mongo-spark-connector_2.12 added as a dependency
Then I run
CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW mongo
USING com.mongodb.spark.sql.DefaultSource
OPTIONS (
collection 'accounts'
);
And I get the following error:

Any idea how to set up this view using SQL only, ideally without any startup command line options except the Maven coordinates would also be ace.

Answer 1

Looks like a mismatch between Scala versions.
Starting spark-sql with spark-sql --packages org.mongodb.spark:mongo-spark-connector_2.11:2.4.1 worked alright.
To create the Mongo view using SQL only:
CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW source
USING mongo
OPTIONS (
uri 'mongodb://…',
collection 'my_collection'
);
