I was following this thread for a problem I am facing while using SortedKeyValueFiles.
Below is the piece of code that tries to obtain the appropriate writer based on whether I am appending or creating a new file: OutputStream dataOutputStream; if (!fileSystem.exists(dataFilePath)) { dataOutputStream = fileSystem.create(dataFilePath); mDataFileWriter = new DataFileWriter<GenericRecord>(datumWriter).setSyncInterval(1 << 20).create(mRecordSchema, dataOutputStream); } else { dataOutputStream = fileSystem.append(dataFilePath); mDataFileWriter = new DataFileWriter<GenericRecord>(datumWriter).setSyncInterval(1 << 20).appendTo(new File(options.getPath() + DATA_FILENAME)); } but it fails with this: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /CHANGELOG/data (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:120) at org.apache.avro.file.SeekableFileInput.<init>(SeekableFileInput.java:29) at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileWriter.appendTo(DataFileWriter.java:149) at com.abc.kepler.datasink.hdfs.util.SortedKeyValueFile$Writer.<init>(SortedKeyValueFile.java:597) at com.abc.kepler.datasink.hdfs.util.ChangeLogUtil.getChangeLogWriter(ChangeLogUtil.java:84) at com.abc.kepler.datasink.hdfs.HDFSDataSinkChangeLog.append(HDFSDataSinkChangeLog.java:219) at com.abc.kepler.datasink.hdfs.HDFSDataSinkChangesTest.writeDataSingleEntityKeyDefaultLocation(HDFSDataSinkChangesTest.java:1036) at com.abc.kepler.datasink.hdfs.HDFSDataSinkChangesTest.javadocExampleTest(HDFSDataSinkChangesTest.java:645) So, is the avro writer it not able to locate the file on hdfs? Could you please share some pointers what could be leading to this? -- View this message in context: http://apache-avro.679487.n3.nabble.com/Is-it-possible-to-append-to-an-already-existing-avro-file-tp3762049p4027785.html Sent from the Avro - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
