HiveWriterContainer passes null configuration to serde.initialize, causing NullPointerException in AvroSerde when using avro.schema.url

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    • Bug
    • Status: Resolved
    • Minor
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • 1.6.2, 2.0.0
    • 2.2.1, 2.3.0
    • SQL
    • None
    • AWS EMR 5.0.0: Spark 2.0.0, Hive 2.1.0

    Description

      When HiveWriterContainer intializes a serde it explicitly passes null for the Configuration:

      https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v2.0.0/sql/hive/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/hive/hiveWriterContainers.scala#L161

      When attempting to write to a table stored as Avro with avro.schema.url set, this causes a NullPointerException when it tries to get the FileSystem for the URL:

      https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/release-2.1.0-rc3/serde/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/serde2/avro/AvroSerdeUtils.java#L153

      Reproduction:

      spark-sql> create external table avro_in (a string) stored as avro location '/avro-in/' tblproperties ('avro.schema.url'='/avro-schema/avro.avsc');
      
      spark-sql> create external table avro_out (a string) stored as avro location '/avro-out/' tblproperties ('avro.schema.url'='/avro-schema/avro.avsc');
      
      spark-sql> select * from avro_in;
      hello
      Time taken: 1.986 seconds, Fetched 1 row(s)
      
      spark-sql> insert overwrite table avro_out select * from avro_in;
