Installing and setting up Spark with Standalone Cluster manager

By Dinesh
Note:- To set-up I have used version 1.5.2

When you run jobs in Spark’s local mode. In this mode, the Spark driver runs along with an executor in the same Java process. 

Spark can run over a variety of cluster managers to access the machines in a cluster. If you only want to run Spark by itself on a set of machines, the built-in Standalone mode is the easiest way to deploy it. Spark can also run over two popular cluster managers: Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos.
Standalone Cluster manager
  • Copy a compiled version of Spark to the same location on all your machines—for example, /usr/local/spark.
  • Set up password-less SSH access from your master machine to the others. This requires having the same user account on all the machines, creating a private SSH key for it on the master via ssh-keygen, and adding this key to the .ssh/authorized_keys file of all the workers. If you have not set this up before, you can follow these commands:

# On master: run ssh-keygen accepting default options
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/hduser/.ssh/id_dsa): [ENTER]
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [EMPTY]
Enter same passphrase again: [EMPTY]

# On workers:
# copy ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub from your master to the worker, then use:
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Edit the conf/slaves file on your master and fill in the workers’ hostnames. In our case I have 2 machines and one machine will run both master and slave, and other only slave.
  • To start the cluster, run sbin/start-all.sh on your master (it is important to run it there rather than on a worker). If everything started, you should get no prompts for a password, and the cluster manager’s web UI should appear at http://masternode:8080 and show all your workers.
  • To stop the cluster, run sbin/stop-all.sh on your master node.
** Check web-UI http://masternode:8080/

To submit application:
>spark-submit --master spark://masternode:7077 yourapp

Launch spark-shell:
spark-shell --master spark://masternode:7077

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

By Dinesh
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.
