For what it's worth, the optimizer may still read the file more than once even if there's only one read in your code. All depends on what else is being done.

I'm curious about the fix and didn't fully understand from the description. What's interesting about the test is that there's only one Pipeline read(), but then multiple parallelDo()s on the resulting table, yet you still hit the issue. We'd thought it must be due to the multiple reads of the same file. Would this have happened in other places where multiple operations were performed on the same PTable or PCollection, or is it specific to the operations performed on objects created directly from a read()?

That minimal example seems accurate. Previously when we dug deeper into which records were dropped it appeared entire files were being dropped, not just parts of one file, so that sounds consistent with what you are seeing.

I can run this test a few different times, and sometimes I'll get the correct output, but other times I'll get an error b/c no records are processed. I'm going to investigate further and see if I can identify the source of the randomness. public class RecordDropIT { @Rule public TemporaryPath tmpDir = TemporaryPaths.create(); @Test public void testMultiReadCount() throws Exception { int numReads = 2; MRPipeline p = new MRPipeline(RecordDropIT.class, tmpDir.getDefaultConfiguration()); Path shakes = tmpDir.copyResourcePath("shakes.txt"); TableSource<LongWritable, Text> src = From.formattedFile(shakes, TextInputFormat.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class); List<Iterable<Integer>> values = Lists.newArrayList(); for (int i = 0; i < numReads; i++) { PCollection<Integer> cnt = p.read(src).parallelDo(new LineCountFn<Pair<LongWritable, Text>>(), Writables.ints()); values.add(cnt.materialize()); } for (Iterable<Integer> iter : values) { System.out.println(Iterables.getOnlyElement(iter)); } p.done(); } public static class LineCountFn<T> extends DoFn<T, Integer> { private int count = 0; @Override public void process(T input, Emitter<Integer> emitter) { count++; } @Override public void cleanup(Emitter<Integer> emitter) { emitter.emit(count); } } } On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 6:11 PM, Jeff Quinn <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Josh, Thanks so much for your suggestions. The counts are determined with two methods, I am using a simple pig script to count records, and I am also tabulating up the size in bytes of all hdfs output files. Both measures show dropped records / fewer than expected output bytes. To your second point I will go back and do a sweep for that, but I am fairly sure no DoFns are making use of intermediate state values without getDetachedValue. Our team is aware of the getDetachedValue gotchas as I think it has bitten us before. Thanks !

Running a very simple job which is mostly map only, we see that an undetermined subset of records are getting dropped. Specifically, we expect 30,136,686 output records and have seen output on different trials (running over the same data with the same binary): 22,177,119 records 26,435,670 records 22,362,986 records 29,798,528 records These are all the things about our application which might be unusual and relevant: - We use a custom file input format, via From.formattedFile. It looks like this (basically a carbon copy of org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.TextInputFormat): import org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable; import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text; import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputSplit; import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.RecordReader; import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.TaskAttemptContext; import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat; import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.LineRecordReader; import java.io.IOException; public class ByteOffsetInputFormat extends FileInputFormat<LongWritable, Text> { @Override public RecordReader<LongWritable, Text> createRecordReader( InputSplit split, TaskAttemptContext context) throws IOException, InterruptedException { return new LineRecordReader(); } } - We call org.apache.crunch.Pipeline#read using this InputFormat many times, for the job in question it is called ~160 times as the input is ~100 different files. Each file ranges in size from 100MB-8GB. Our job only uses this input format for all input files. - For some files org.apache.crunch.Pipeline#read is called twice one the same file, and the resulting PTables are processed in different ways. - It is only the data from these files which org.apache.crunch.Pipeline#read has been called on more than once during a job that have dropped records, all other files consistently do not have dropped records Curious if any Crunch users have experienced similar behavior before, or if any of these details about my job raise any red flags.
