Partitioned delta table failing to write checkpoints? - apache-spark

Question

I'm using pyspark with spark 3.2.1 and delta table package ("io.delta:delta-core_2.12:2.1.0").
I have partitioned my table by Code, Year and Month like below:
table.write.partitionBy("Code", "Year", "Month").format('delta').save(path)
When I run a merge on this table:
deltaTable.alias("t0").merge(
df.alias("t1"),
" t0.Code= t1.CodeAND "
" t0.Year = t1.Year AND "
" t0.Month = t1.Month AND "
" t0.Date = t1.Date"
).whenMatchedUpdate(
set={
...
}
).execute()
I got the following warning:
WARN DAGScheduler: Broadcasting large task binary with size 1861.8 KiB
Then I got the following error after some minutes:
py4j.protocol.Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o2070.execute.

This error only happens when the table is partitioned! If I not use partitions on my folder my code runs normally.
I'm using this code inside a for loop, performing multiple updates on that table!
So my doubt is: Why is this happening when the table is partitioned?

Answer 1

You're using incompatible version of the Delta Lake - as you can see in the docs, the version 2.1.0 is compatible with Spark 3.3.0, so you can't use it with 3.2.1. You need to take 2.0.1 instead
