Phoenix Error Description

[#1]

I am using phoenix “psql” utility to ingest some file data and it fails with many generic “ERROR 201 (22000): Illegal data” without more details. It is difficult to figure out which column data or datatype cause the failure.

Is there any way to get more details?

[root@dev HbaseData]# psql.py -d "|" localhost tgb_counter.csv

Try loading your data into Phoenix via the MapReduce loader, I believe it provides better error logging - http://phoenix.apache.org/bulk_dataload.html

This error will be thrown when an invalid or illegal data value for a columns is found. Please verify all the data as for the columns' data types'.

found there is an empty value for some column check whether it's expected or not?

What i usually do in this case is to open the data file(CSV) and copy the row to problematic row excel sheet and also place the row which is inserting without any issues and compare these 2 rows on individual columns values against the datatype. its most likely either the datatype is not matching with the values are you are inserting a null / no value for a primary key column.

I also ran into this problem and it was painful to troubleshoot. Is there a JIRA to improve the error message?
