Correct.
I also counted the rows with Spark and Hive. Both returned the same
value which is nearly 100 mio. rows. But Flink returns 102 mio. rows.

OK, so the problem seems to be with the HBase InputFormat.
I guess this issue needs a bit of debugging.
We need to check if records are emitted twice (or more often) and if
that is the case which records.
Unfortunately, this issue only seems to occur with large tables :-(
Did I got that right, that the HBase format returns about 2M (~2%)
more records than are contained in the HBase table?

Hi,
Now I tested the "count" method. It returns the same result as the
flatmap.groupBy(0).sum(1) method.
Furthermore, the Hbase contains nearly 100 mio. rows but the
result is 102 mio.. This means that the HbaseInput reads more rows
than the HBase contains.

Hi Hilmi,
I see two possible reasons:
1) The data source / InputFormat is not properly working, so not
all HBase records are read/forwarded, or
2) The aggregation / count is buggy
Roberts suggestion will use an alternative mechanism to do the
count. In fact, you can count with groupBy(0).sum() and
accumulators at the same time.
If both counts are the same, this will indicate that the
aggregation is correct and hint that the HBase format is faulty.
In any case, it would be very good to know your findings. Please
keep us updated.
One more hint, if you want to do a full aggregate, you don't have
to use a "dummy" key like "a". Instead, you can work with
Tuple1<Long> and directly call sum(0) without doing the groupBy().
Best, Fabian

Hi Hilmi,
if you just want to count the number of elements, you can
also use accumulators, as described here [1].
They are much more lightweight.
So you need to make your flatMap function a
RichFlatMapFunction, then call getExecutionContext().
Use a long accumulator to count the elements.
If the results with the accumulator are consistent (the exact
element count), then there is a severe bug in Flink. But I
suspect that the accumulator will give you the same result
(off by +-5)
Best,
Robert

Hi,
I implemented a simple Flink Batch job which reads from
an HBase Cluster of 13 machines and with nearly 100
million rows. The hbase version is 1.0.0-cdh5.4.1. So, I
imported hbase-client 1.0.0-cdh5.4.1.
I implemented a flatmap which creates a tuple ("a", 1L)
for each row . Then, I use groupBy(0).sum(1).writeAsTest.
The result should be the number of rows. But, the result
is not correct. I run the job multiple times and the
result flactuates by +-5. I also run the job for a
smaller table with 100.000 rows and the result is correct.
Does anyone know the reason for that?
Best Regards,
Hilmi
