Hi @RahulPatidar , Are your spark operations getting hampered by this error?

[RahulPatidar]

Yes as we are using spark cache at many places it is blocking us. 

[RahulPatidar]

Yes spark operations getting hampered by this error.

[RahulPatidar]

@Kaniz_Fatma can you please help me to resolve this issue.

[Kaniz_Fatma · Accepted solution]

Hi @RahulPatidar , The error message you’re encountering, “NoSuchObjectException (message: There is no database named global_temp),” is related to the use of the special database called “global_temp” in Spark.Here’s what you need to know:

1. Global Temporary Views: The “global_temp” database is used for global temporary views. These views are shared across different Spark sessions. When you create a temporary view with the prefix “global_temp”, it becomes accessible to other Spark sessions as well.

2. Harmless Error: The error message you’re seeing is harmless. It occurs because Spark checks for the existence of the “global_temp” database when you use certain operations like dataset.cache(). If the database doesn’t exist, Spark raises this exception. However, it doesn’t impact the functionality of your code.

3. Ignore the Error: You can safely ignore this error. It won’t affect your data processing or caching. The “global_temp” database is automatically created by Spark and doesn’t require any manual setup.

Keep coding confidently!
