[SPARK-9407] [SQL] Relaxes Parquet ValidTypeMap to allow ENUM predicates to be pushed down

Cheng Lian authored 9 years ago

This PR adds a hacky workaround for PARQUET-201, and should be removed once we upgrade to parquet-mr 1.8.1 or higher versions.

In Parquet, not all types of columns can be used for filter push-down optimization. The set of valid column types is controlled by `ValidTypeMap`. Unfortunately, in parquet-mr 1.7.0 and prior versions, this limitation is too strict, and doesn't allow `BINARY (ENUM)` columns to be pushed down. On the other hand, `BINARY (ENUM)` is commonly seen in Parquet files written by libraries like `parquet-avro`.

This restriction is problematic for Spark SQL, because Spark SQL doesn't have a type that maps to Parquet `BINARY (ENUM)` directly, and always converts `BINARY (ENUM)` to Catalyst `StringType`. Thus, a predicate involving a `BINARY (ENUM)` is recognized as one involving a string field instead and can be pushed down by the query optimizer. Such predicates are actually perfectly legal except that it fails the `ValidTypeMap` check.

The workaround added here is relaxing `ValidTypeMap` to include `BINARY (ENUM)`. I also took the chance to simplify `ParquetCompatibilityTest` a little bit when adding regression test.

Closes #8107 from liancheng/spark-9407/parquet-enum-filter-push-down.

Apache Spark

Spark is a fast and general cluster computing system for Big Data. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, and Python, and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming for stream processing.

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project web page and project wiki. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building Spark

Spark is built using Apache Maven. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

build/mvn -DskipTests clean package

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package.) More detailed documentation is available from the project site, at "Building Spark".

Interactive Scala Shell

The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:

./bin/spark-shell

Try the following command, which should return 1000:

scala> sc.parallelize(1 to 1000).count()

Interactive Python Shell

Alternatively, if you prefer Python, you can use the Python shell:

./bin/pyspark

And run the following command, which should also return 1000:

>>> sc.parallelize(range(1000)).count()

Example Programs

Spark also comes with several sample programs in the examples directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/run-example <class> [params]. For example:

./bin/run-example SparkPi

will run the Pi example locally.

You can set the MASTER environment variable when running examples to submit examples to a cluster. This can be a mesos:// or spark:// URL, "yarn-cluster" or "yarn-client" to run on YARN, and "local" to run locally with one thread, or "local[N]" to run locally with N threads. You can also use an abbreviated class name if the class is in the examples package. For instance:

MASTER=spark://host:7077 ./bin/run-example SparkPi

Many of the example programs print usage help if no params are given.

Running Tests

Testing first requires building Spark. Once Spark is built, tests can be run using:

./dev/run-tests

Please see the guidance on how to run tests for a module, or individual tests.

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the protocols have changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.

Please refer to the build documentation at "Specifying the Hadoop Version" for detailed guidance on building for a particular distribution of Hadoop, including building for particular Hive and Hive Thriftserver distributions. See also "Third Party Hadoop Distributions" for guidance on building a Spark application that works with a particular distribution.

Configuration

Please refer to the Configuration guide in the online documentation for an overview on how to configure Spark.
