How HiveContext of spark internally works?

Viewed 1649

I am new to Spark.I found using HiveContext we can connect to hive and run HiveQLs. I run it and it worked.

My doubt is whether Spark does it through spark jobs .That is, it uses HiveContext only for accessing corresponding hive table files from HDFS

Or

It internally calls hive to execute the query?
