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. Regards, Anand.C
