Spark MongoDB Connector Not leading to correct count or data while reading

We are using Scala 2.11 , Spark 2.4 and Spark MongoDB Connector 2.4.4

Use Case 1 -

We wanted to read a Shareded Mongo Collection and copy its data to another Mongo Collection. We noticed that after Spark Job successful completion. Output MongoDB did not had many records.

Use Case 2 -

We read a MongoDB collection and doing count on dataframe lead to different count on each execution.

Analysis,

We realized that MongoDB Spark Connector is missing data on bulk read as a dataframe.

We tried various partitioner, listed on page - https://www.mongodb.com/docs/spark-connector/v2.4/configuration/ But, none of them worked for us.

Finally, we tried MongoShardedPartitioner this lead to constant count on each execution. But, it was greater than the actual count of records on the collection. This seems to be limitation with MongoDB Spark Connector. But, MongoShardedPartitioner seemed closest possible solution to this kind of situation. But, it performed really very slow.

Crux -

This seems to be limitation with MongoDB Spark Connector, where-in we can read all data from MongoDB Collection and copy that data to another Collection. If we specified where criteria then we could find those records in source Mongo Collection. But, bulk copy always missed data.

Thankfully, we had copy of data on HDFS. So, we ran job to copy data from HDFS to MongoDB instead of MongoDB to MongoDB.

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.

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
