I have a directory in an azure data lake that has the following path:
'adl://home/../psgdata/clusters/iptiqadata-prod-cluster-eus2-01/psgdata/mib'
Within this directory there are a number of other directories (50) that have the format 20190404.
The directory 'adl://home/../psgdata/clusters/iptiqadata-prod-cluster-eus2-01/psgdata/mib/20180404' contains 100 or so xml files which I am working with.
I can create an rdd for each of the sub-folders which works fine, but ideally I want to pass only the top path, and have spark recursively find the files. I have read other SO posts and tried using a wildcard thus:
pathWild = 'adl://home/../psgdata/clusters/iptiqadata-prod-cluster-eus2-01/psgdata/mib/*'
rdd = sc.wholeTextFiles(pathWild)
rdd.count()
But it just freezes and does nothing at all, seems to completely destroy the kernel. I am working in Jupyter on Spark 2.x. New to spark. Thanks!
Try this:
pathWild = 'adl://home/../psgdata/clusters/iptiqadata-prod-cluster-eus2-01/psgdata/mib/*/*'

I am writing a simple pyspark script to copy hdfs files and folders from one location to another. I have gone through many docs and answers available online but i could not find a way to copy folders and files using pyspark or to execute hdfs commands using pyspark(particularly copy folders and files)
Below is my code
hadoop = sc._jvm.org.apache.hadoop
Path = hadoop.fs.Path
FileSystem = hadoop.fs.FileSystem
conf = hadoop.conf.Configuration()
fs = FileSystem.get(conf)
source = hadoop.fs.Path('/user/xxx/data')
destination = hadoop.fs.Path('/user/xxx/data1')
if (fs.exists(Path('/user/xxx/data'))):
for f in fs.listStatus(Path('/user/xxx/data')):
print('File path', str(f.getPath()))
**** how to use copy command here ?
Thanks in advance
Create a new Java object for the FileUtil class and use its copy methods, not hdfs script commands
How to move or copy file in HDFS by using JAVA API
It might be better to just use distcp rather than Spark, though, otherwise, you'll run into race conditions if you try to run that code with multiple executors
I'm using SPARK to read files in hdfs. There is a scenario, where we are getting files as chunks from legacy system in csv format.
ID1_FILENAMEA_1.csv
ID1_FILENAMEA_2.csv
ID1_FILENAMEA_3.csv
ID1_FILENAMEA_4.csv
ID2_FILENAMEA_1.csv
ID2_FILENAMEA_2.csv
ID2_FILENAMEA_3.csv
This files are loaded to FILENAMEA in HIVE using HiveWareHouse Connector, with few transformation like adding default values. Similarly we have around 70 tables. Hive tables are created in ORC format. Tables are partitioned on ID. Right now, I'm processing all these files one by one. It's taking much time.
I want to make this process much faster. Files will be in GBs.
Is there is any way to read all the FILENAMEA files at the same time and load it to HIVE tables.
You have two methods to read several CSV files in pyspark. If all CSV files are in the same directory and all have the same schema, you can read then at once by directly passing the path of directory as argument, as follow:
spark.read.csv('hdfs://path/to/directory')
If you have CSV files in different locations or CSV files in same directory but with other CSV/text files in it, you can pass them as string representing a list of path in .csv() method argument, as follow:
spark.read.csv('hdfs://path/to/filename1,hdfs://path/to/filename2')
You can have more information about how to read a CSV file with Spark here
If you need to build this list of paths from the list of files in HDFS directory, you can look at this answer, once you've created your list of paths, you can transform it to a string to pass to .csv() method with ','.join(your_file_list)
Using: spark.read.csv(["path1","path2","path3"...]) you can read multiple files from different paths. But that means you have first to make a list of the paths. A list not a string of comma-separated file paths
I have a directory of CSV files. The files are named based on date similar to the image below:
I have many CSV files that go back to 2012.
So, I would like to read the CSV files that correspond to a certain date only. How is that could be possible in spark? In other words, I don't want my spark engine to bother and read all CSV files because my data is huge (TBs).
Any help is much appreciated!
You can specify a list of files to be processed when calling the load(paths) or csv(paths) methods from DataFrameReader.
So an option would be to list and filter files on the driver, then load only the "recent" files :
val files: Seq[String] = ???
spark.read.option("header","true").csv(files:_*)
Edit :
You can use this python code (not tested yet)
files=['foo','bar']
df=spark.read.csv(*files)
I am using spark streaming and I want to save each batch of spark streaming on my local in Avro format. I have used saveAsNewAPIHadoopFile to save data in Avro format. This works well. But it overwrites the existing file. Next batch data will overwrite the old data. Is there any way to save Avro file in common directory? I tried by adding some properties of Hadoop job conf for adding a prefix in the file name. But not working any properties.
dstream.foreachRDD {
rdd.saveAsNewAPIHadoopFile(
path,
classOf[AvroKey[T]],
classOf[NullWritable],
classOf[AvroKeyOutputFormat[T]],
job.getConfiguration()
)
}
Try this -
You can make your process split into 2 steps :
Step-01 :- Write Avro file using saveAsNewAPIHadoopFile to <temp-path>
Step-02 :- Move file from <temp-path> to <actual-target-path>
This will definitely solve your problem for now. I will share my thoughts if I get to fulfill this scenario in one step instead of two.
Hope this is helpful.
I have some results from a Spark application saved in the HDFS as files called part-r-0000X (X= 0, 1, etc.). And, because I want to join the whole content in a file, I'm using the following command:
hdfs dfs -getmerge srcDir destLocalFile
The previous command is used in a bash script which makes empty the output directory (where the part-r-... files are saved) and, inside a loop, executes the above getmerge command.
The thing is I need to use the resultant file in another Spark program which need that merged file as input in the HDFS. So I'm saving it as local and then I upload it to the HDFS.
I've thought another option which is write the file from the Spark program in this way:
outputData.coalesce(1, false).saveAsTextFile(outPathHDFS)
But I've read coalesce() doesn't help with the performance.
Any other ideas? suggestions? Thanks!
You wish to merge all the files into a single one so that you can load all the files at once into a Spark rdd, is my guess.
Let the files be in Parts(0,1,....) in HDFS.
Why not load it with wholetextFiles, which actually does what you need.
wholeTextFiles(path, minPartitions=None, use_unicode=True)[source]
Read a directory of text files from HDFS, a local file system (available on all nodes), or any Hadoop-supported file system URI. Each file is read as a single record and returned in a key-value pair, where the key is the path of each file, the value is the content of each file.
If use_unicode is False, the strings will be kept as str (encoding as utf-8), which is faster and smaller than unicode. (Added in Spark 1.2)
For example, if you have the following files:
hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00000 hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00001 ... hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn
Do rdd = sparkContext.wholeTextFiles(“hdfs://a-hdfs-path”), then rdd contains:
(a-hdfs-path/part-00000, its content) (a-hdfs-path/part-00001, its content) ... (a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn, its content)
Try SPARK BucketBy.
This is a nice feature via df.write.saveAsTable(), but this format can only be read by SPARK. Data shows up in Hive metastore but cannot be read by Hive, IMPALA.
The best solution that I've found so far was:
outputData.saveAsTextFile(outPath, classOf[org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec])
Which saves the outputData in compressed part-0000X.gz files under the outPath directory.
And, from the other Spark app, it reads those files using this:
val inputData = sc.textFile(inDir + "part-00*", numPartition)
Where inDir corresponds to the outPath.
