Hi, I wrote a custom serde that stores takes data and stores it in objects called DocumentWritable that inherits from Writable. When I try to run code to insert into the table that uses my serde, I get an error saying that DocumentWritable cannot be cast to BytesWritable. Does my DocumentWritable need to inherit from org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable?
I'm creating a table using a custom serde that I wrote: CREATE TABLE avro_test ( NOTEBOOK_ID STRING, … DLC_XID STRING ) ROW FORMAT SERDE 'com.merck.huron.hive.LuceneSerde'; When I try to insert data using a select statement I am storing it into a class I have called DocumentWritable: INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE avro_test SELECT * FROM avro DocumentWritable inherits from Writable. When I do the select and my serde code gets executed I get the following error: Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Hive Runtime Error while processing row {"notebook_id":"1","stuff_id":"1","person_id":"0","person_role_id":"1","reference":"NO DOC","lastname":"OMITTED","firstinitial":"TBD","source_id":null,"source_name":"MRL SYNTHESIS","notebook":null,"pg":null,"firstname":null,"middlename":null,"site":null,"mail":null,"dlc_xid":null} at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.ExecMapper.map(ExecMapper.java:161) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapRunner.run(MapRunner.java:54) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.runOldMapper(MapTask.java:429) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.run(MapTask.java:341) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild$2.run(YarnChild.java:158) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:415) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1441) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild.main(YarnChild.java:153) Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Hive Runtime Error while processing row {"notebook_id":"1","stuff_id":"1","person_id":"0","person_role_id":"1","reference":"NO DOC","lastname":"OMITTED","firstinitial":"TBD","source_id":null,"source_name":"MRL SYNTHESIS","notebook":null,"pg":null,"firstname":null,"middlename":null,"site":null,"mail":null,"dlc_xid":null} at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapOperator.process(MapOperator.java:565) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.ExecMapper.map(ExecMapper.java:143) ... 8 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.comp.proj.indexing.DocumentWritable cannot be cast to org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat$1.write(HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat.java:90) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FileSinkOperator.processOp(FileSinkOperator.java:606) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.process(Operator.java:474) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.forward(Operator.java:800) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.SelectOperator.processOp(SelectOperator.java:84) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.process(Operator.java:474) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.forward(Operator.java:800) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TableScanOperator.processOp(TableScanOperator.java:83) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.process(Operator.java:474) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.forward(Operator.java:800) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapOperator.process(MapOperator.java:546) ... 9 more Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
