Question

NiFi 2.5.0 missing parquet integration

Hi guys,

i've just started to work with parquet files, all is running with database own export logics, but they are not traceable - use NiFi was the Idea. 
Now im just annoyed how bad i am to handle this ... seems no default export available for this, install extensible-bundles ... NoClass here and there etc...

Did anybody of you solved to add Parquet to NiFi 2.5.0?

I've downloaded and provided nifi-parquet-nar-2.5.0.nar, nifi-hadoop-nar-2.5.0.nar and nifi-hadoop-libraries-nar-2.5.0.nar still NoClassDefFoundErrors in this order of log (single named)
- org/apache/nifi/serialization/RecordSetWriterFactory
- org/apache/nifi/processors/hadoop/AbstractFetchHDFSRecord
- org/apache/nifi/processors/hadoop/AbstractPutHDFSRecord
- org/apache/nifi/serialization/RecordReaderFactory
- org/apache/nifi/serialization/RecordSetWriterFactory
- org/apache/parquet/io/OutputFile
- org/apache/parquet/io/InputFile

Anybody who can helpt me?

Hello @mbraunerde, 

I see you mentioned that you're using NiFi 2.5.0, I think that version is not provided for Cloudera on the CFM right? 
Even the most recent CFM does not have NiFi 2.5.0, the latest is CFM 4.10 with NiFi 2.3.0. 

I ask because the Cloudera provided CFM do have Parquet already included: PutParquet
https://docs.cloudera.com/cfm/4.10.0/release-notes/topics/cfm-supported-processors.html

Now, if you want to add it on a custom NiFi install, you should import those NAR already loaded but also you need nifi-standard-services-api-nar and nifi-record-serialization-services-nar. 
You can take a look here: 
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.nifi/nifi-standard-services-api-nar 
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.nifi/nifi-record-serialization-services-nar

Hi @vafs ,

>  I think that version is not provided for Cloudera on the CFM right

your right, but this platform was the best one so far for all NiFi questions 🤙

I will update this thread, if i got a solution, either if Cloudera or not

Understood. 

Hopefully the missing NAR's pointed on the previous update help you figure the issue.
