We wrote a program that iterates and add columns to Spark dataframe.  We already had a table which had 364 columns and we wanted a final dataframe with 864 columns. Thus, we wrote a program like below -   existingColumns.filter(x => !colList.contains(x)).foreach { x =>       {         //stagingDF = stagingDF.withColumn(x, lit(null).cast(StringType))       } We realized that this caused program to take almost 20 minutes to add 500 columns to dataframe. On analysis, we found that  Spark updates Projection after every withColumn() method invocation. So, instead of updating dataframe. We created a StringBuilder and appended columns to that and Finally built a Select SQL out of it and executed it on dataframe:     val comma = ","     val select ="select "     val tmptable="tmptable"     val from =" from "     val strbuild = new StringBuilder()     val col = ...

 Say, you have a Table like below -  A [K1, K2, K3] [V1,V2,V3] B [K2] [V2] C [K1,K2,K3,K4,K5] [V1,V2,V3,V4,V5]   And you want a final table like below :   K1 K2 K3 K4 K5 A V1 V2 V3     B   V2       C V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 It Can be done with SQL -  select id, arrMap['K1'] K1, arrMap['K2'] K2, arrMap['K3'] K3, arrMap['K4'] K4, arrMap['K5'] K5, from (select id, str_to_map(concat_ws(',', (collect_list(kv)))) arrMap from (select id, n.pos, concat_ws(':', n.attribute, value[n.pos]) kv from  INPUT_TABLE lateral view posexplode(attributes) n as pos, attribute )T group by id) T1; Explanation: 1) Inner query explodes mul...

 Reason-  This occurs because underlying Parquet or ORC file has column with Double Type , whereas Hive reads it as String.

Spark reading Parquet table gives Null records whereas it works from Hive. if we read a parquet table from Hive it is working - select * from Table_Parq limit 7; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Whereas same doesn't work with Spark - select * from Table_Parq limit 7; NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL It may be because Parquet file has different Schema then Hive Metastore, may be column names are in different case. Solution -  Read Parquet File on HDFS then Hive Table , or,  Set following properties -  set spark.sql.caseSensitive=false; set spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet=false;

Say, we have table_1 like -  unit | req_type A     |   1 A     |   2 B     |   2 B     |   3 D     |   2 E     |   2 E     |   4 We have to write a SQL such that,  we can select Unit with Req_Type=2 Also, that Unit should not have any other Req_Type in list. Ex - 1,3 Solution -  We can add another column such that -  case when  req_type in (1,3) then 1 else 0 end col1 unit | req_type | col1 A     |   1          |   1 A     |   2          |   0 B     |   2          |   0 B     |   3          |   1 D  ...

A non-equi left join is a join between 2 tables in which join condition is given by operators other than equal to "=". For example - Equi Join - "Table1 join Table2 on (T1.c1=T2.c1)" Non-Equi Join - "Table1 join Table2 on (T2.c1 > T1.c1 and T2.c1<T1.c2)" Hive does not support Non-Equi join. Spark supports Non-Equi join. But, we have seen that it only works when there is a combination of Equi & Non-Equi columns. For example -  Table1 join Table2 on (T1.c3=T2.c3 and T2.c1 > T1.c1 and T2.c1<T1.c2) But, if you just have Non-Equi condition then Spark job fails after sometime with "Future Timeout" exception   Table1 join Table2 on (T2.c1 > T1.c1 and T2.c1<T1.c2) In that scenario, we have to identify additional column on which Equi condition can be specified . It can be a hash value column or something else that matches in Table 1 and Table 2. For example - We had 2 tables and wanted to check if IP is between sta...

Sometimes data is unevenly distributed leading to data skew. What it means is a partition has more data due to same/ related keys compared to other partitions. In case of Joins and Aggregations , all  data for same key should be co-located, may be processed by one container/ executor . This may be lead to slowness of application. Solution - If data is small than smaller data set can be broadcasted . Thus, increasing join efficiency. This is governed by property - spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold Identify if there are too many NULL values then filter them out before joining. And , process records with NULL keys separately then do a union with renaming data set.   Salting - To understand salting, Lets understand problem with an example -  Table 1  Key 1 1 1 Table 2 Key 1 1 On joining Table1 with Table 2,  Since this is same key all data should be shuffled to same container or one JVM, which will return 3*2 ro...

We have seen that Spark connects to Hive Metastore. And, sometimes it takes too long to get connected as Metastore is slow. Also, we have seen that there is no automatic load balancing between Hive Meta stores. Solution - Out of all available Hive Metastore connections- we can externally test a working Metastore in a script then set that URL while invoking Spark Job as follows - spark-sql --conf "spark.hadoop.hive.metastore.uris=thrift://myMetaIp:9083" -e "show databases" Note - This can also be used to set Hive Metastore or other properties externally from Spark.

It can be done in 2 steps - Just create a new Phoenix Table with a different name but same schema as existing Table. Use below HBase command that will eventually execute a MR Job to copy the data -  hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.CopyTable --new.name="<Name of new HBase Table>" "<Name of existing HBase Table>"

I have a Hive SQL - select regexp_extract(`unenriched`.` input__file__name `,'[^/]*$',0) `SRC_FILE_NM from dl.table1; This query fails running with Spark - spark . sql . utils . AnalysisException : u "cannot resolve 'INPUT__FILE__NAME' given input columns: Anaylsis- INPUT__FILE__NAME is a Hive specific virtual column and it is not supported in Spark. Solution- Spark provides input_file_name function which should work in a similar way: SELECT input_file_name() FROM df but it requires Spark 2.0 or later to work correctly with Spark.
