This has been incredibly frustrating and odd as Spark can do it > easily (I'm told). > I have assembled the correct jars through luck and diligence, but now I find > out that I have to have hadoop installed on my machine. I am currently > developing in Windows and it seems a dll and exe can fix that up but am > wondering about Linus as the code will eventually run in Fargate on AWS. > *Why do I need external dependencies and not pure java?* > The thing really is how utterly complex all this is. I would like to create > an avro file and convert it to Parquet and write it to S3, but I am trapped > in "ParquetWriter" hell! > *Why can't I get a normal OutputStream and write it wherever I want?* > I have scoured the web for examples and there are a few but we really need > some documentation on this stuff. I understand that there may be reasons for > all this but I can't find them on the web anywhere. Any help? Can't we get > the "SimpleParquet" jar that does this: > > ParquetWriter writer = > AvroParquetWriter.<GenericData.Record>builder(outputStream) > .withSchema(avroSchema) > .withConf(conf) > .withCompressionCodec(CompressionCodecName.SNAPPY) > .withWriteMode(Mode.OVERWRITE)//probably not good for prod. (overwrites > files). > .build(); > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
