Install and Use Redis

Redis is an open source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value store. Redis holds its database entirely in memory, using the disk only for persistence. Redis can replicate data to any number of slaves.

Installing Redis


  • Download the latest stable release tarball or wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-stable.tar.gz



  • Untar it:

           tar xzf redis-stable.tar.gz


  • Change Directory or make entry to '.bashrc':

          cd redis-stable


  • Proceed to with the make command:

          make


  • Run the recommended make test:

          make test


  • Start Redis

hduser@slave:~$ redis-server

Hive Parse JSON with Array Columns and Explode it in to Multiple rows.

 Say we have a JSON String like below -  { "billingCountry":"US" "orderItems":[       {          "itemId":1,          "product":"D1"       },   {          "itemId":2,          "product":"D2"       }    ] } And, our aim is to get output parsed like below -  itemId product 1 D1 2 D2   First, We can parse JSON as follows to get JSON String get_json_object(value, '$.orderItems.itemId') as itemId get_json_object(value, '$.orderItems.product') as product Second, Above will result String value like "[1,2]". We want to convert it to Array as follows - split(regexp_extract(get_json_object(value, '$.orderItems.itemId'),'^\\["(.*)\\"]$',1),'","') as itemId split(regexp_extract(get_json_object(value, '$.orderItems.product'),'^\\["(.*)\\"]$',1),...

Read from a hive table and write back to it using spark sql

In context to Spark 2.2 - if we read from an hive table and write to same, we get following exception- scala > dy . write . mode ( "overwrite" ). insertInto ( "incremental.test2" ) org . apache . spark . sql . AnalysisException : Cannot insert overwrite into table that is also being read from .; org . apache . spark . sql . AnalysisException : Cannot insert overwrite into table that is also being read from .; 1. This error means that our process is reading from same table and writing to same table. 2. Normally, this should work as process writes to directory .hiveStaging... 3. This error occurs in case of saveAsTable method, as it overwrites entire table instead of individual partitions. 4. This error should not occur with insertInto method, as it overwrites partitions not the table. 5. A reason why this happening is because Hive table has following Spark TBLProperties in its definition. This problem will solve for insertInto met...




Hadoop Distcp Error Duplicate files in input path

  One may face following error while copying data from one cluster to other, using Distcp  Command: hadoop distcp -i {src} {tgt} Error: org.apache.hadoop.toolsCopyListing$DulicateFileException: File would cause duplicates. Ideally there can't be same file names. So, what might be happening in your case is you trying to copy partitioned table from one cluster to other. And, 2 different named partitions have same file name. Your solution is to correct Source path  {src}  in your command, such that you provide path uptil partitioned sub directory, not the file. For ex - Refer below : /a/partcol=1/file1.txt /a/partcol=2/file1.txt If you use  {src}  as  "/a/*/*"  then you will get the error  "File would cause duplicates." But, if you use  {src}  as  "/a"  then you will not get error in copying.
