Since SPARK-8406 is serious, we hope to ship it ASAP, possibly next week, but I can't say it's a promise yet. However, you can cherry pick the commit as soon as the fix is merged into branch-1.4. Sorry for the troubles!

Thanks Cheng. Nice find!

Let me know if there is anything we can do to help on this end with contributing a fix or testing.

Side note - any ideas on the 1.4.1 eta? There are a few bug fixes we need in there.

Cheers,
Nathan

Subject: Re: Spark 1.4 DataFrame Parquet file writing - missing random rows/partitions

Hi Nathan,

Thanks a lot for the detailed report, especially the information about nonconsecutive part numbers. It's confirmed to be a race condition bug and just filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8406 to track this. Will deliver a fix ASAP and this will be included in 1.4.1.

Best,
Cheng

Hi all,

Looks like data frame parquet writing is very broken in Spark 1.4.0. We had no problems with Spark 1.3.

When trying to save a data frame with *569610608* rows.

dfc.write.format("parquet").save(“/data/map_parquet_file")

We get random results between runs. Caching the data frame in memory makes no difference. It looks like the write out misses some of the RDD partitions. We have an RDD with *6750* partitions. When we write out we get less files out than the number of partitions. When reading the data back in and running a count, we get smaller number of rows.

I’ve tried counting the rows in all different ways. All return the same result, *560214031* rows, missing about 9.4 million rows (0.15%).

qc.read.parquet("/data/map_parquet_file").count
qc.read.parquet("/data/map_parquet_file").rdd.count
qc.read.parquet("/data/map_parquet_file").mapPartitions{itr => var c = 0; itr.foreach(_ => c = c + 1); Seq(c).toIterator }.reduce(_ + _)

Looking on HDFS the files, there are /6643/ .parquet files. 107 missing partitions (about 0.15%).

Then writing out the same cached DF again to a new file gives *6717* files on hdfs (about 33 files missing or 0.5%);

dfc.write.parquet(“/data/map_parquet_file_2")

And we get *566670107* rows back (about 3million missing ~0.5%);

qc.read.parquet("/data/map_parquet_file_2").count

Writing the same df out to json writes the expected number (*6750*) of parquet files and returns the right number of rows /569610608/.

dfc.write.format("json").save("/data/map_parquet_file_3")
qc.read.format("json").load("/data/map_parquet_file_3").count

One thing to note is that the parquet part files on HDFS are not the normal sequential part numbers like for the json output and parquet output in Spark 1.3.

part-r-06151.gz.parquet part-r-118401.gz.parquet part-r-146249.gz.parquet part-r-196755.gz.parquet part-r-35811.gz.parquet part-r-55628.gz.parquet part-r-73497.gz.parquet part-r-97237.gz.parquet part-r-06161.gz.parquet part-r-118406.gz.parquet part-r-146254.gz.parquet part-r-196763.gz.parquet part-r-35826.gz.parquet part-r-55647.gz.parquet part-r-73500.gz.parquet _SUCCESS

We are using MapR 4.0.2 for hdfs.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Nathan
