Sqoop import table as parquet file then read it with Spark gives error of mr-parquet versioning

avatar
Contributor

I have imported a table from DB2 using Sqoop 1.4.6.2 to HDFS in parquet format

sqoop import -Dmapreduce.job.user.classpath.first=true -Dhadoop.security.credential.provider.path=jceks://hdfs/user/toto/creds.jceks -Dorg.apache.sqoop.splitter.allow_text_splitter=true --connect jdbc:db2://myserver:myport/db:currentSchema=myschema;" --username <username> --password-alias <password> -m 2 --as-parquetfile --outdir /tmp/java --driver com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver --target-dir /user/toto/db/mytable --delete-target-dir --table mytable

I have my table directly imported into HDFS.

Then i try to read it using Spark 2.1.1.2 and Scala 2.11.8 and change the column type which come from DB2 as TIMESTAMP and imported by Sqoop as BIGINT. I have to modify the column type using Spark then erase the old parquet file with the new one:

spark-shell
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
import org.apache.spark.sql.types._

val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
val df = sqlContext.read.parquet("/user/toto/db/mytable")

df.withColumn("col_bigint", ($"col_bigint / 1000).cast(TimestampType))
df.show(5, false)

Throwing a WARNING

WARN CorruptStatistics: Ignoring statistics because created_by could not be parsed (see PARQUET-251): parquet-mr
org.apache.parquet.VersionParsers$VersionParseException: Could not parse created_by: parquet-mr using format: (.+) version ((.*))?\(build ?(.*)\)

With Sqoop, it's impossible to have directly the desire column format in TIMESTAMP. It automatically put it in a BIGINT type. So i want to read and to perform some transformation on these parquets file to have the right format.

I already try to add every parquet-* JAR file into /usr/hdp/current/sqoop-cli/lib/

  • parquet-column-1.8.1.jar
  • parquet-common-1.8.1.jar
  • parquet-encoding-1.8.1.jar
  • parquet-format-2.3.0-incubating.jar
  • parquet-generator-1.8.1.jar
  • parquet-hadoop-1.8.1.jar
  • parquet-hadoop-bundle-1.6.0.jar
  • parquet-jackson-1.8.1.jar
  • parquet-avro-1.6.0.jar

If i change the parquet-avro-1.6.0.jar by the parquet-avro-1.8.1.jar, Sqoop couldn't process it, because he can't find the method AvroWriter

Initially, each JARs files in the Sqoop-CLI library were in version 1.6.0 but i change it and put them with the same version of my spark2 jar folder.

If anyone can find a way to make it work, I will be very grateful

A solution to import your data as parquet file and be able to treat the TIMESTAMP and DATE format which come from RDBMS such as IBM DB2 or MySQL is to import using the sqoop import --as-parquet command and map each field using --map-column-java which are TIMESTAMP and DATE to a String Java type.

After that, you should be able to interrogate the Hive database though a SparkSession by changing the configuration of the actual Spark Session and set spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet to false. SparkSQL will use the Hive SerDe for reading parquet tables instead of the built in support.

spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet false
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession

val sparkSession = SparkSession.builder()
.appName("test interrogate Hive parquet file using Spark")
.config("spark.sql.parquet.compression.codec", "snappy")
.config("spark.sql.warehouse.dir","/apps/hive/warehouse")
.config("hive.metastore.uris","thrift://sdsl-hdp-01.mycluster:9083")
.config("spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet", false)
.enableHiveSupport()
.getOrCreate()

import spark.implicits._
import spark.sql
 
val df = sql("SELECT CAST(COL1 AS TIMESTAMP), COL2, COL3, CAST(COL4 AS TIMESTAMP), COL5 FROM db.mytable")
df.printSchema
root
 |-- COL1: timestamp (nullable = true)
 |-- COL2: string (nullable = true)
 |-- COL3: string (nullable = true)
 |-- COL4: timestamp (nullable = true)
 |-- COL5: integer (nullable = true)

@Thomas Bazzucchi,

I just did a quick test and can see that the sqoop does pick up the datetime correctly,

18/03/20 23:36:29 DEBUG manager.SqlManager: Found column create_time of type DATETIME

18/03/20 23:36:29 DEBUG manager.SqlManager: Found column update_time of type DATETIME

18/03/20 23:36:29 DEBUG manager.SqlManager: Found column added_by_id of type BIGINT

18/03/20 23:36:29 DEBUG manager.SqlManager: Found column upd_by_id of type BIGINT

Can you enable verbose on the sqoop command which can provide some lead on this, apart from this if you can share the ddl along with some sample data that would also help in getting where the issue would lie.

Also out of curiosity, have you tried using --map-column-java fieldname=TIMESTAMP like this?

Sqoop picks up the DATETIME correctly but when you import data from database as parquet file format, with Sqoop you'll have issues regarding the parquet schema saved in Hive/HDFS.

The structure of the table is the following:

TAG002_AGENT

  • SDINTERMED (TIMESTAMP PK FK)
  • CSTATRED (CHAR(3))
  • VIDAGENT (TIMESTAMP Nullable FK)
  • CONTAG (SMALLINT)

I also add options --verbose and --map-column-java SDINTERMED=Timestamp (and also try SDINTERMED=java.sql.Timestamp)

This is the following command that i launch:

sqoop import -Dmapreduce.job.user.classpath.first=true -Dhadoop.security.credential.provider.path=jceks://hdfs/user/airflow/credentials.jceks -Dorg.apache.sqoop.splitter.allow_text_splitter=true --connect "jdbc:db2://MVSTST1.lefoyer.lu:5047/DB2B:currentSchema=DEVB;" --username TAPBDB2B --password-alias db2.password -m 2 --as-parquetfile --outdir /tmp/java --driver com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver --target-dir /user/airflow/db2b/TAG002_AGENT --delete-target-dir --table TAG002_AGENT --map-column-java SDAGRESP=Timestamp,SDINTERMED=Timestamp --verbose

That's why ORC should be your preferred file format 🙂

Ok, jokes apart, here is a similar issue reported already! This one talks about access issue to the log files and the user was able to fix it. Please have a look and let know if that fix your issue.

@Rahul Soni I totally agree with you! Especially when you're working with Hive tables. But the customer is working with Spark and require parquet files as input data for the Spark jobs.

I already check the reported issue and made the necessary modification on the /tmp/parquet-0.log and /tmp/parquet-0.log.lock access for my user (which is not hive in my case).
