JMS Consumer (onMessage()) delay in getting message from Oralce AQ

By Dinesh
I have an application where I have implemented Oracle AQ. I ran in to a behavior where average time for processing varied as depicted in graph below:



In above graph when volume of orders was less, average processing time came out to be more whereas when load increased with time, average time for processing got constant and then when volume started declining, time again started increasing.

 I analyzed the behavior and found that there is delay in message consumption after message has been produced to AQ. On further analysis I found that AQjmsListenerWorker goes for sleep if message is not available for consumption and sleep time doubles each time (up to peak limit) if message is not available for consumption. Thus optimizing resource utilization if there is no messages in AQ for consumption.

On enabling (-Doracle.jms.traceLevel=6) diagnostics logs for aq api. 

 I analyzed that Listener thread sleep time doubles till 15000 ms (15 sec), starting with default value 1000 ms, if null message is received from AQ. See below excerpt from logs:

 Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:32 IST 2014] AQjmsListenerWorker.dispatchOneMsg:  Received the message: null message
Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:32 IST 2014] AQjmsListenerWorker.doSleep:  try to wait for 1000 milliseconds
Thread-8 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:33 IST 2014] AQjmsListenerWorker.dispatchOneMsg:  Received the message: null message
Thread-8 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:33 IST 2014] AQjmsSimpleScheduler.feedData:  Got a null message, the sleep time is doubled to 2000
Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:33 IST 2014] AQjmsListenerWorker.doSleep:  try to wait for 2000 milliseconds
...........

 Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:47 IST 2014] AQjmsListenerWorker.dispatchOneMsg:  Received the message: null message
Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:47 IST 2014] AQjmsSimpleScheduler.feedData:  Got a null message, the sleep time is doubled to 15000
Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:55:47 IST 2014] AQjmsListenerWorker.doSleep:  try to wait for 15000 milliseconds

 So when volume was less sleep time was more.

 reference:- https://community.oracle.com/thread/2535275

 To reduce the sleep time I set below system properties. Thus making minimum start time to 100 ms which will double up to 4000 ms.
-Doracle.jms.minSleepTime=100

-Doracle.jms.maxSleepTime=4000

Sleep time is again set to 0 when a not null message is de-queued.

 Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:59:18 IST 2014] AQjmsListenerWorker.dispatchOneMsg:  Received the message: D3DD9DC7EB894ABC915CE80C180C25D5

Thread-7 [Fri Oct 10 15:59:18 IST 2014] AQjmsSimpleScheduler.feedData:  Got a non null message, the sleep time is reset to 0

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

By Dinesh
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

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

By Dinesh
 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),&

Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: org.apache.parquet.column.values.dictionary.PlainValuesDictionary$PlainIntegerDictionary

Exception -  Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: org.apache.parquet.column.values.dictionary.PlainValuesDictionary$PlainIntegerDictionary at org.apache.parquet.column.Dictionary.decodeToBinary(Dictionary.java:44) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.vectorized.ColumnVector.getUTF8String(ColumnVector.java:645) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.GeneratedClass$GeneratedIterator.processNext(Unknown Source) Analysis - This might occur because of data type mismatch between Hive Table & written Parquet file. Solution - Correct the data type to match between Hive Table & Parquet

Hadoop Distcp Error Duplicate files in input path

By Dinesh
  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.
