Hi,
I am using spark-sql to read a CSV file and write it as parquet file. I am
building the schema using the following code.
String schemaString = "a b c";
List<StructField> fields = new ArrayList<StructField>();
MetadataBuilder mb = new MetadataBuilder();
mb.putBoolean("nullable", true);
Metadata m = mb.build();
for (String fieldName: schemaString.split(" ")) {
fields.add(new StructField(fieldName,DataTypes.DoubleType,true,
m));
}
StructType schema = DataTypes.createStructType(fields);
Some of the rows in my input csv does not contain three columns. After building
my JavaRDD<Row>, I create data frame as shown below using the RDD and schema.
DataFrame darDataFrame = sqlContext.createDataFrame(rowRDD, schema);
Finally I try to save it as Parquet file
darDataFrame.saveAsParquetFile("/home/anand/output.parquet")
I get this error when saving it as Parquet file
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Trying to write more fields than contained
in row (3 > 2)
I understand the reason behind this error. Some of my rows in Row RDD does not
contain three elements as some rows in my input csv does not contain three
columns. But while building the schema, I am specifying every field as
nullable. So I believe, it should not throw this error. Can anyone help me fix
this error. Thank you.
