I have AVRO files sorted with ID and each ID has folder called "ID=234" and data inside the folder is in AVRO format and sorted on the basis of date.
I am running spark job which takes input path and reads avro in dataframe. This dataframe then writes to kafka topic with 5 partition.
val properties: Properties = getProperties(args)
val spark = SparkSession.builder().master(properties.getProperty("master"))
.appName(properties.getProperty("appName")).getOrCreate()
val sqlContext = spark.sqlContext
val sourcePath = properties.getProperty("sourcePath")
val dataDF = sqlContext.read.avro(sourcePath).as("data")
val count = dataDF.count();
val schemaRegAdd = properties.getProperty("schemaRegistry")
val schemaRegistryConfs = Map(
SchemaManager.PARAM_SCHEMA_REGISTRY_URL -> schemaRegAdd,
SchemaManager.PARAM_VALUE_SCHEMA_NAMING_STRATEGY -> SchemaManager.SchemaStorageNamingStrategies.TOPIC_NAME
)
val start = Instant.now
dataDF.select(functions.struct(properties.getProperty("message.key.name")).alias("key"), functions.struct("*").alias("value"))
.toConfluentAvroWithPlainKey(properties.getProperty("topic"), properties.getProperty("schemaName"),
properties.getProperty("schemaNamespace"))(schemaRegistryConfs)
.write.format("kafka")
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers",properties.getProperty("kafka.brokers"))
.option("topic",properties.getProperty("topic")).save()
}
My use case is to write all messages from each ID (sorted on date) sequencially such as all sorted data from one ID 1 should be added first then from ID 2 and so on. Kafka message has key as ID.
Dont forgot that the data inside a RDD/dataset is shuffle when you do transformations so you lose the order.
the best way to achieve this is to read file one by one and send it to kafka instead of read a full directory in your val sourcePath = properties.getProperty("sourcePath")
What is the best way to truncate kudu table from spark? Is there any analogue of SQL "TRUNCATE TABLE_NAME;" or "DELETE FROM TALBE_NAME;"?
I just managed to find kuduContext.deleteRows, but it requires explicit specification rows to delete.
Or I should use KuduClient not Spark for such operations?
I couldn't find any operation for truncate table within KuduClient.
With kudu delete rows the ids has to be explicitly mentioned.
The easiest method (with shortest code) to do this as mentioned in the documentaion is read the id (or all the primary keys) as dataframe and pass this to KuduContext.deleteRows.
import org.apache.kudu.spark.kudu._
val kuduMasters = Seq("kudu_ubuntu:7051").mkString(",")
val tableName = "test_tbl"
val kuduContext = new KuduContext(kuduMasters, sc)
val df = spark.sqlContext.read.
options(Map("kudu.master" -> kuduMasters,
"kudu.table" -> tableName)).
kudu
val idToDelete = df.select("no") // contains ids for existing rows.
kuduContext.deleteRows(idToDelete, tableName) // delete rows
Note: I used spark-2 with package org.apache.kudu:kudu-spark2_2.11:1.6.0 for kudu connection
I am writing application using Spark dataset API on databricks notebook.
I have 2 tables. One is 1.5billion rows and second 2.5 million. Both tables contain telecommunication data and join is done using country code and first 5 digits of a number. Output has 55 billion rows. Problem is I have skewed data(long running tasks). No matter how i repartition dataset I get long running tasks because of uneven distribution of hashed keys.
I tried using broadcast joins, tried persisting big table partitions in memory etc.....
What are my options here?
spark will repartition the data based on the join key, so repartitioning before the join won't change the skew (only add an unnecessary shuffle)
if you know the key that is causing the skew (usually it will be some thing like null or 0 or ""), split your data into to 2 parts - 1 dataset with the skew key, and another with the rest
and do the join on the sub datasets, and union the results
for example:
val df1 = ...
val df2 = ...
val skewKey = null
val df1Skew = df1.where($"key" === skewKey)
val df2Skew = df2.where($"key" === skewKey)
val df1NonSkew = df1.where($"key" =!= skewKey)
val df2NonSkew = df2.where($"key" =!= skewKey)
val dfSkew = df1Skew.join(df2Skew) //this is a cross join
val dfNonSkew = df1NonSkew.join(df2NonSkew, "key")
val res = dfSkew.union(dfNonSkew)
Currently I'm trying to filter a Hive table by the latest date_processed.
The table is partitioned by.
System
date_processed
Region
The only way I've managed to filter it, is by doing a join query:
query = "select * from contracts_table as a join (select (max(date_processed) as maximum from contract_table as b) on a.date_processed = b.maximum"
This way is really time consuming, as I have to do the same procedure for 25 tables.
Any one Knows a way to read directly the latest loaded partition of a table in Spark <1.6
This is the method I'm using to read.
public static DataFrame loadAndFilter (String query)
{
return SparkContextSingleton.getHiveContext().sql(+query);
}
Many thanks!
Dataframe with all table partitions can be received by:
val partitionsDF = hiveContext.sql("show partitions TABLE_NAME")
Values can be parsed, for get max value.
I want to overwrite specific partitions instead of all in spark. I am trying the following command:
df.write.orc('maprfs:///hdfs-base-path','overwrite',partitionBy='col4')
where df is dataframe having the incremental data to be overwritten.
hdfs-base-path contains the master data.
When I try the above command, it deletes all the partitions, and inserts those present in df at the hdfs path.
What my requirement is to overwrite only those partitions present in df at the specified hdfs path. Can someone please help me in this?
Finally! This is now a feature in Spark 2.3.0:
SPARK-20236
To use it, you need to set the spark.sql.sources.partitionOverwriteMode setting to dynamic, the dataset needs to be partitioned, and the write mode overwrite. Example:
spark.conf.set("spark.sql.sources.partitionOverwriteMode","dynamic")
data.write.mode("overwrite").insertInto("partitioned_table")
I recommend doing a repartition based on your partition column before writing, so you won't end up with 400 files per folder.
Before Spark 2.3.0, the best solution would be to launch SQL statements to delete those partitions and then write them with mode append.
This is a common problem. The only solution with Spark up to 2.0 is to write directly into the partition directory, e.g.,
df.write.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite).save("/root/path/to/data/partition_col=value")
If you are using Spark prior to 2.0, you'll need to stop Spark from emitting metadata files (because they will break automatic partition discovery) using:
sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("parquet.enable.summary-metadata", "false")
If you are using Spark prior to 1.6.2, you will also need to delete the _SUCCESS file in /root/path/to/data/partition_col=value or its presence will break automatic partition discovery. (I strongly recommend using 1.6.2 or later.)
You can get a few more details about how to manage large partitioned tables from my Spark Summit talk on Bulletproof Jobs.
spark.conf.set("spark.sql.sources.partitionOverwriteMode","dynamic")
data.toDF().write.mode("overwrite").format("parquet").partitionBy("date", "name").save("s3://path/to/somewhere")
This works for me on AWS Glue ETL jobs (Glue 1.0 - Spark 2.4 - Python 2)
Adding 'overwrite=True' parameter in the insertInto statement solves this:
hiveContext.setConf("hive.exec.dynamic.partition", "true")
hiveContext.setConf("hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode", "nonstrict")
df.write.mode("overwrite").insertInto("database_name.partioned_table", overwrite=True)
By default overwrite=False. Changing it to True allows us to overwrite specific partitions contained in df and in the partioned_table. This helps us avoid overwriting the entire contents of the partioned_table with df.
Using Spark 1.6...
The HiveContext can simplify this process greatly. The key is that you must create the table in Hive first using a CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE statement with partitioning defined. For example:
# Hive SQL
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE test
(name STRING)
PARTITIONED BY
(age INT)
STORED AS PARQUET
LOCATION 'hdfs:///tmp/tables/test'
From here, let's say you have a Dataframe with new records in it for a specific partition (or multiple partitions). You can use a HiveContext SQL statement to perform an INSERT OVERWRITE using this Dataframe, which will overwrite the table for only the partitions contained in the Dataframe:
# PySpark
hiveContext = HiveContext(sc)
update_dataframe.registerTempTable('update_dataframe')
hiveContext.sql("""INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE test PARTITION (age)
SELECT name, age
FROM update_dataframe""")
Note: update_dataframe in this example has a schema that matches that of the target test table.
One easy mistake to make with this approach is to skip the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE step in Hive and just make the table using the Dataframe API's write methods. For Parquet-based tables in particular, the table will not be defined appropriately to support Hive's INSERT OVERWRITE... PARTITION function.
Hope this helps.
Tested this on Spark 2.3.1 with Scala.
Most of the answers above are writing to a Hive table. However, I wanted to write directly to disk, which has an external hive table on top of this folder.
First the required configuration
val sparkSession: SparkSession = SparkSession
.builder
.enableHiveSupport()
.config("spark.sql.sources.partitionOverwriteMode", "dynamic") // Required for overwriting ONLY the required partitioned folders, and not the entire root folder
.appName("spark_write_to_dynamic_partition_folders")
Usage here:
DataFrame
.write
.format("<required file format>")
.partitionBy("<partitioned column name>")
.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite) // This is required.
.save(s"<path_to_root_folder>")
I tried below approach to overwrite particular partition in HIVE table.
### load Data and check records
raw_df = spark.table("test.original")
raw_df.count()
lets say this table is partitioned based on column : **c_birth_year** and we would like to update the partition for year less than 1925
### Check data in few partitions.
sample = raw_df.filter(col("c_birth_year") <= 1925).select("c_customer_sk", "c_preferred_cust_flag")
print "Number of records: ", sample.count()
sample.show()
### Back-up the partitions before deletion
raw_df.filter(col("c_birth_year") <= 1925).write.saveAsTable("test.original_bkp", mode = "overwrite")
### UDF : To delete particular partition.
def delete_part(table, part):
qry = "ALTER TABLE " + table + " DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION (c_birth_year = " + str(part) + ")"
spark.sql(qry)
### Delete partitions
part_df = raw_df.filter(col("c_birth_year") <= 1925).select("c_birth_year").distinct()
part_list = part_df.rdd.map(lambda x : x[0]).collect()
table = "test.original"
for p in part_list:
delete_part(table, p)
### Do the required Changes to the columns in partitions
df = spark.table("test.original_bkp")
newdf = df.withColumn("c_preferred_cust_flag", lit("Y"))
newdf.select("c_customer_sk", "c_preferred_cust_flag").show()
### Write the Partitions back to Original table
newdf.write.insertInto("test.original")
### Verify data in Original table
orginial.filter(col("c_birth_year") <= 1925).select("c_customer_sk", "c_preferred_cust_flag").show()
Hope it helps.

As jatin Wrote you can delete paritions from hive and from path and then append data
Since I was wasting too much time with it I added the following example for other spark users.
I used Scala with spark 2.2.1
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
import org.apache.spark.sql.{Column, DataFrame, SaveMode, SparkSession}
case class DataExample(partition1: Int, partition2: String, someTest: String, id: Int)
object StackOverflowExample extends App {
//Prepare spark & Data
val sparkConf = new SparkConf()
sparkConf.setMaster(s"local[2]")
val spark = SparkSession.builder().config(sparkConf).getOrCreate()
val tableName = "my_table"
val partitions1 = List(1, 2)
val partitions2 = List("e1", "e2")
val partitionColumns = List("partition1", "partition2")
val myTablePath = "/tmp/some_example"
val someText = List("text1", "text2")
val ids = (0 until 5).toList
val listData = partitions1.flatMap(p1 => {
partitions2.flatMap(p2 => {
someText.flatMap(
text => {
ids.map(
id => DataExample(p1, p2, text, id)
)
}
)
}
)
})
val asDataFrame = spark.createDataFrame(listData)
//Delete path function
def deletePath(path: String, recursive: Boolean): Unit = {
val p = new Path(path)
val fs = p.getFileSystem(new Configuration())
fs.delete(p, recursive)
}
def tableOverwrite(df: DataFrame, partitions: List[String], path: String): Unit = {
if (spark.catalog.tableExists(tableName)) {
//clean partitions
val asColumns = partitions.map(c => new Column(c))
val relevantPartitions = df.select(asColumns: _*).distinct().collect()
val partitionToRemove = relevantPartitions.map(row => {
val fields = row.schema.fields
s"ALTER TABLE ${tableName} DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION " +
s"${fields.map(field => s"${field.name}='${row.getAs(field.name)}'").mkString("(", ",", ")")} PURGE"
})
val cleanFolders = relevantPartitions.map(partition => {
val fields = partition.schema.fields
path + fields.map(f => s"${f.name}=${partition.getAs(f.name)}").mkString("/")
})
println(s"Going to clean ${partitionToRemove.size} partitions")
partitionToRemove.foreach(partition => spark.sqlContext.sql(partition))
cleanFolders.foreach(partition => deletePath(partition, true))
}
asDataFrame.write
.options(Map("path" -> myTablePath))
.mode(SaveMode.Append)
.partitionBy(partitionColumns: _*)
.saveAsTable(tableName)
}
//Now test
tableOverwrite(asDataFrame, partitionColumns, tableName)
spark.sqlContext.sql(s"select * from $tableName").show(1000)
tableOverwrite(asDataFrame, partitionColumns, tableName)
import spark.implicits._
val asLocalSet = spark.sqlContext.sql(s"select * from $tableName").as[DataExample].collect().toSet
if (asLocalSet == listData.toSet) {
println("Overwrite is working !!!")
}
}
If you use DataFrame, possibly you want to use Hive table over data.
In this case you need just call method
df.write.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite).partitionBy("partition_col").insertInto(table_name)
It'll overwrite partitions that DataFrame contains.
There's not necessity to specify format (orc), because Spark will use Hive table format.
It works fine in Spark version 1.6
Instead of writing to the target table directly, i would suggest you create a temporary table like the target table and insert your data there.
CREATE TABLE tmpTbl LIKE trgtTbl LOCATION '<tmpLocation';
Once the table is created, you would write your data to the tmpLocation
df.write.mode("overwrite").partitionBy("p_col").orc(tmpLocation)
Then you would recover the table partition paths by executing:
MSCK REPAIR TABLE tmpTbl;
Get the partition paths by querying the Hive metadata like:
SHOW PARTITONS tmpTbl;
Delete these partitions from the trgtTbl and move the directories from tmpTbl to trgtTbl
I would suggest you doing clean-up and then writing new partitions with Append mode:
import scala.sys.process._
def deletePath(path: String): Unit = {
s"hdfs dfs -rm -r -skipTrash $path".!
}
df.select(partitionColumn).distinct.collect().foreach(p => {
val partition = p.getAs[String](partitionColumn)
deletePath(s"$path/$partitionColumn=$partition")
})
df.write.partitionBy(partitionColumn).mode(SaveMode.Append).orc(path)
This will delete only new partitions. After writing data run this command if you need to update metastore:
sparkSession.sql(s"MSCK REPAIR TABLE $db.$table")
Note: deletePath assumes that hfds command is available on your system.
My solution implies overwriting each specific partition starting from a spark dataframe. It skips the dropping partition part. I'm using pyspark>=3 and I'm writing on AWS s3:
def write_df_on_s3(df, s3_path, field, mode):
# get the list of unique field values
list_partitions = [x.asDict()[field] for x in df.select(field).distinct().collect()]
df_repartitioned = df.repartition(1,field)
for p in list_partitions:
# create dataframes by partition and send it to s3
df_to_send = df_repartitioned.where("{}='{}'".format(field,p))
df_to_send.write.mode(mode).parquet(s3_path+"/"+field+"={}/".format(p))
The arguments of this simple function are the df, the s3_path, the partition field, and the mode (overwrite or append). The first part gets the unique field values: it means that if I'm partitioning the df by daily, I get a list of all the dailies in the df. Then I'm repartition the df. Finally, I'm selecting the repartitioned df by each daily and I'm writing it on its specific partition path.
You can change the repartition integer by your needs.
You could do something like this to make the job reentrant (idempotent):
(tried this on spark 2.2)
# drop the partition
drop_query = "ALTER TABLE table_name DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION (partition_col='{val}')".format(val=target_partition)
print drop_query
spark.sql(drop_query)
# delete directory
dbutils.fs.rm(<partition_directoy>,recurse=True)
# Load the partition
df.write\
.partitionBy("partition_col")\
.saveAsTable(table_name, format = "parquet", mode = "append", path = <path to parquet>)
For >= Spark 2.3.0 :
spark.conf.set("spark.sql.sources.partitionOverwriteMode","dynamic")
data.write.insertInto("partitioned_table", overwrite=True)
