Hive: Write custom serde

Suppose we have input file like below:
$ vi uwserde
kiju1233,1234567890
huhuhuhu,1233330987
…
…
…
This input file consist of sessionid and timestamp as comma-separated value. Assuming this I wrote a WritableComparable as below:

package hive;

import java.io.DataInput;
import java.io.DataOutput;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.WritableComparable;

public class UserWritable implements WritableComparable<UserWritable>  {
      
       private Text sessionID;
      
      
       private Text timestamp;


       public UserWritable() {
              set(new Text(), new Text());
       }
      
      
       public void set(Text sessionID, Text timestamp) {
              this.sessionID = sessionID;
              this.timestamp = timestamp;
       }

      
       public Text getSessionID() {
              return sessionID;
       }
      
      
       public Text getTimestamp() {
              return timestamp;
       }
      
      
       @Override
       public void readFields(DataInput din) throws IOException {
              sessionID.readFields(din);
              timestamp.readFields(din);
       }

       @Override
       public void write(DataOutput dout) throws IOException {
              sessionID.write(dout);
              timestamp.write(dout);
       }

      
       @Override
       public int hashCode() {
              return sessionID.hashCode()*163 + timestamp.hashCode();
       }
      
       @Override
       public int compareTo(UserWritable uw) {
              int cmp = compare(sessionID,uw.sessionID); //sessionID.compareTo(uw.sessionID);
             
              if(cmp != 0){
                     return cmp;
              }
             
              try{
                     long meT = Long.parseLong(timestamp.toString());
                     long cmpT = Long.parseLong(uw.timestamp.toString());
                     return compare(new LongWritable(meT),new LongWritable(cmpT));//new LongWritable(meT).compareTo(new LongWritable(cmpT));
              }catch(Exception e){
                     e.printStackTrace();
                     throw new RuntimeException("Error in comparing long timestamp.",e);
              }
             
       }
      

       public static int compare(Text a , Text b){
              return a.compareTo(b);
       }
      
       public static int compare(LongWritable a , LongWritable b){
              return a.compareTo(b);
       }
      
       @Override
       public boolean equals(Object o) {
              if (o instanceof UserWritable) {
                     UserWritable tp = (UserWritable) o;
                     return sessionID.equals(tp.sessionID) && timestamp.equals(tp.timestamp);
              }
              return false;
       }
}

Now let us write InputFormat class with LongWritable key and UserWritable as value. Also, implement RecordReader to read file line by line.

package hive;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.FSDataInputStream;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Seekable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileSplit;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConfigurable;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.RecordReader;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reporter;

public class UWInputFormat extends FileInputFormat<LongWritable, UserWritable> implements JobConfigurable{

       JobConf conf;
      
       @Override
       public void configure(JobConf conf) {
              this.conf = conf;         
       }
      
       @Override
       public org.apache.hadoop.mapred.RecordReader<LongWritable, UserWritable> getRecordReader(
                     org.apache.hadoop.mapred.InputSplit paramInputSplit,
                     JobConf paramJobConf, Reporter paramReporter) throws IOException {
              paramReporter.setStatus(paramInputSplit.toString());
              return new UWRecordReader(paramJobConf, (FileSplit) paramInputSplit);
       }

      
        public static class UWRecordReader implements RecordReader<LongWritable,UserWritable> {
             
              private FileSplit fileSplit;
              private Configuration conf;
              private boolean processed =false;
              private FSDataInputStream fileIn;
              private long pos;
             
             
             
             
              public UWRecordReader(Configuration job,
                   FileSplit split) throws IOException {
                     this.fileSplit =  split;
                     this.conf  = job;
                     Path file = fileSplit.getPath();

                     FileSystem fs = file.getFileSystem(conf);
                     this.fileIn = fs.open(file);
              }

             
              @Override
              public LongWritable createKey() {
                    
                     return new LongWritable();
              }
             
              @Override
              public UserWritable createValue() {
                     // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                     return new UserWritable();
              }
             
              @Override
              public long getPos() throws IOException {
                     return pos;
              }
             
              @Override
              public float getProgress() throws IOException {
                     return processed ? 1.0f : 0.0f;
              }
             
              @Override
              public boolean next(LongWritable paramK, UserWritable paramV)
                           throws IOException {
                     if(!processed){
                           pos = fileIn.getPos();
                           paramK.set(pos);
                          
                           String val = fileIn.readLine();
                          
                           if(val==null || val.trim().equals("")){
                                  processed = true;
                                  return false;
                           }
                          
                           String [] arr = val.split(",");
                           paramV.set(new Text(arr[0]), new Text(arr[1]));
                           return true;
                     }
                     return false;
              }


              @Override
              public void close() throws IOException {
                     fileIn.close();                  
              }

Now let us write Serializer-Deserializer. In below example I have only covered deserialize option which will get UserWritable object for each line read by RecordReader. 

package hive;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Properties;

import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.IgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde.Constants;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDe;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDeException;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDeStats;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.ObjectInspector;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.ObjectInspectorFactory;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.StructObjectInspector;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.typeinfo.TypeInfo;
import org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.typeinfo.TypeInfoUtils;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable;

public class UWSerde implements SerDe{

       private int numColumns;
       private List<String> columnNames;
       private ArrayList<Object> row;
       private StructObjectInspector rowOI;
       private List<TypeInfo> columnTypes;
      
       @Override
       public Object deserialize(Writable arg0) throws SerDeException {
              UserWritable rowKey = (UserWritable) arg0;
              // Loop over columns in table and set values
              String colName;
              Object value;
             
              for (int c = 0; c < numColumns; c++) {
                     colName = columnNames.get(c);
                     TypeInfo ti = columnTypes.get(c);
                     if(colName.contains("session"))
                           row.set(c, rowKey.getSessionID().toString());
                     else
                           row.set(c, rowKey.getTimestamp().toString());
              }
              return row;
       }

       @Override
       public ObjectInspector getObjectInspector() throws SerDeException {
              return rowOI;
       }

       @Override
       public SerDeStats getSerDeStats() {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              return null;
       }

       @Override
       public void initialize(Configuration sysProps, Properties tblProps)
                     throws SerDeException {
              String columnNameProperty = tblProps.getProperty(Constants.LIST_COLUMNS);
              columnNames = Arrays.asList(columnNameProperty.split(","));
             
              String columnTypeProperty = tblProps.getProperty(Constants.LIST_COLUMN_TYPES);
              columnTypes = TypeInfoUtils.getTypeInfosFromTypeString(columnTypeProperty);
             
              assert columnNames.size() == columnTypes.size();
              numColumns = columnNames.size();
             
              List<ObjectInspector> columnOIs = new ArrayList<ObjectInspector>(
                           columnNames.size());
              ObjectInspector oi;
             
              for (int c = 0; c < numColumns; c++) {
                     oi = TypeInfoUtils.getStandardJavaObjectInspectorFromTypeInfo(columnTypes.get(c));
                     columnOIs.add(oi);
              }
              rowOI = ObjectInspectorFactory.getStandardStructObjectInspector(columnNames, columnOIs);
              // Create an empty row object to be reused during deserialization
              row = new ArrayList<Object>(numColumns);
              for (int c = 0; c < numColumns; c++) {
                     row.add(null);
              }
             
       }

       @Override
       public Class<? extends Writable> getSerializedClass() {
              return Text.class;
       }

       @Override
       public Writable serialize(Object arg0, ObjectInspector arg1)
                     throws SerDeException {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              return null;
       }

      
}

Python [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier

  Error requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool  Max retries exceeded with url:  (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier (_ssl.c:1028)'))). Analysis & Solution Recently, we updated from Python 3.11 to 3.13, which resulted in error above. We did verify AKI = SKI in chain of certificates. Also, imported chain of certificates into certifi. Nothing worked for us. Seemingly, it is a bug with Python 3.13. So, we downgraded to Python 3.12 and it started working.

Spring MongoDB Rest API not returning response in 90 seconds which is leading to client timeout

  We have Spring Boot  Rest API deployed in Kubernetes cluster which integrates with MongoDB to fetch the data.  MongoDB is fed with data by a real time Spark & NiFi job.  Our clients complained that for a request what they send they don't have response within 90 seconds. Consider it like an OMS ( Order ManagEment System).  On further analysis, we found that Spark & NiFi processing is happenning within 10 seconds after consuming response data from Kafka. Thus, initally out thought was that it due to delay from upstream to produce data in to Kafka.  Thankfully, our data had create / request  timestamp, and when response was received, and when response was inserted into MongoDB. Subtracting response insert time from request time seemed to be well within 90 seconds. But, still client did timeout on not seeing a response within 90 seconds. This led to confusion on our side.  But, then we realized it was due to Read Preference . We updated this...

MongoDB Regex Query taking more time in Production but same query perform well in UAT

   We came across a situation where-in, MongoDB Query was taking more time in Production like 10 seconds and 4.2 seconds but same query performed well in UAT taking under 400 ms. The very first thought that was evident to us that it is because of amount of data which differed in UAT and Production. Then we ran following to see the execution plan -   db.collection.aggregate(<queries>).explain() This gave us Winning and Rejected Plans. Under which, we analyzed that although it was using 'IXSCAN.' But, it was incorrect index- as we had one compound index built on time field and other fields, and there was other index just on time field for TTL purposes. Winning plan picked TTL index rather than compound index. Thus, we dropped TTL index and built TTL index on a different time field.  That got our query performance time from 10 seconds to 726 ms. Also, for other query the performance came down from 8 seconds to 4.3 seconds. Then, we ran following -  ...

Spark MongoDB Connector Not leading to correct count or data while reading

  We are using Scala 2.11 , Spark 2.4 and Spark MongoDB Connector 2.4.4 Use Case 1 - We wanted to read a Shareded Mongo Collection and copy its data to another Mongo Collection. We noticed that after Spark Job successful completion. Output MongoDB did not had many records. Use Case 2 -  We read a MongoDB collection and doing count on dataframe lead to different count on each execution. Analysis,  We realized that MongoDB Spark Connector is missing data on bulk read as a dataframe. We tried various partitioner, listed on page -  https://www.mongodb.com/docs/spark-connector/v2.4/configuration/  But, none of them worked for us. Finally, we tried  MongoShardedPartitioner  this lead to constant count on each execution. But, it was greater than the actual count of records on the collection. This seems to be limitation with MongoDB Spark Connector. But,  MongoShardedPartitioner  seemed closest possible solution to this kind of situation. But, it per...
