Github user rjurney commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/455#issuecomment-50420550 @ericgarcia I am running CDH 4.4 with mapreduce 1, and when I run this on a cluster running Spark master in standalone mode: avroRdd = sc.newAPIHadoopFile("hdfs://hivecluster2:8020/e8/dev/web_proxy_mef/2014/07/28", "org.apache.avro.mapreduce.AvroKeyInputFormat", "org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroKey", "org.apache.hadoop.io.NullWritable", keyConverter="org.apache.spark.examples.pythonconverters.AvroGenericConverter") The error is the well known hadoop 1 vs hadoop 2 issue. Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling z:org.apache.spark.api.python.PythonRDD.newAPIHadoopFile. : org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: Server IPC version 7 cannot communicate with client version 4 So I also tried hadoopFile, instead of newAPIHadoopFile. I run: avroRdd = sc.hadoopFile("hdfs://hivecluster2:8020/e8/dev/web_proxy_mef/2014/07/28/20/part-m-00000.avro", "org.apache.avro.mapreduce.AvroKeyInputFormat", "org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroKey", "org.apache.hadoop.io.NullWritable", keyConverter="org.apache.spark.examples.pythonconverters.AvroGenericConverter") And I get: Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling z:org.apache.spark.api.python.PythonRDD.hadoopFile. : java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.avro.mapreduce.AvroKeyInputFormat cannot be cast to org.apache.hadoop.mapred.InputFormat What am I to do? :(
