Hi,

as @Venkata krishnan pointed out spark does not allow DFOC when append mode
is enabled.

in the following class in spark, there is a small check

org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.SQLHadoopMapReduceCommitProtocol


    if (isAppend) {
      // If we are appending data to an existing dir, we will only use the
output committer
      // associated with the file output format since it is not safe to use
a custom
      // committer for appending. For example, in S3, direct parquet output
committer may
      // leave partial data in the destination dir when the appending job
fails.
      // See SPARK-8578 for more details.

However, the reasoning mentioned in the above comments is probably (maybe
ryan or steve can confirm this assumption) not applicable to the Netflix
commiter uploaded by Ryan blue. Because Ryan's commiter uses multipart
upload. So either the whole file is live or nothing is. partial data will
not be available for read. Whatever partial data that might have been
uploaded to s3 by a failed job will be removed after 1 day (I think this the
default in ryan's code. This can be modified using the following config
(fs.s3a.multipart.purge.age -- 86400))


So I simply changed the code to 
     if (true) {

and rebuilt spark from scratch. everything is working well for me in my
initial tests.


There is one more problem I wanted to mention. For some reason, I am getting
an authentication issue while using ryan's code. I made the following change
inside ryan's code.

I changed the findClinet method in S3MultiPartOutputCommiter.java (Ryan's
repo) to the following

  protected Object findClient(Path path, Configuration conf) {
      System.out.println("findinClinet in S3MultipartOutPutCommiter");
      //AWSCredentials
      //AmazonS3Client cli = new AmazonS3Client(new
ProfileCredentialsProvider("/home/user/.aws/credentials", "default"));
      AmazonS3Client cli = new AmazonS3Client(new
com.amazonaws.auth.EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()); //new
AmazonS3Client();
      System.out.println(cli);
      return cli;
    //return new AmazonS3Client(new
ProfileCredentialsProvider("/home/user/.aws/credentials", "default"));
  }


We just have to set the s3 credentials in the ~/.bashrc file.

Please add anything that I might have missed.

Also please look at ryan's talk at spark summit a few days ago
