@brandon-stanley the `hoodie.datasource.write.precombine.field` is a mandatory field. If not specified a default field name `ts` is assumed. Since your table does not have this field you are seeing the above error. The payload class invocation is not an issue since the stack trace you are pointing to here is happening way before the payload class is being invoked. You might want to point the `hoodie.datasource.write.precombine.field` to a valid column in the table and then also pass in a payload class that would ignore the precombine field. You can try that way. But this aside, does your dataset not have duplicates ? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
