I need to process .wav files in Pyspark. If the files are in local file system, I am able to process them. Once I store them on HDFS, I am facing issues. For example,
I run a sox program on a wav file like this. sox ext2187854_03_27_2014.wav -n stats <-- works fine sox hdfs://xxxxxxx:8020/user/ab00855/ext2187854_03_27_2014.wav -n stats <-- Does not work as sox cannot read HDFS file. So, I do like this. hadoop fs -cat hdfs://xxxxxxx:8020/user/ab00855/ext2187854_03_27_2014.wav | sox -t wav - -n stats <-- This works fine But, I am not able to do this in PySpark. wavfile = sc.textFile('hdfs://xxxxxxx:8020/user/ab00855/ext2187854_03_27_2014.wav') wavfile.pipe(subprocess.call(['sox', '-t' 'wav', '-', '-n', 'stats'])) I tried different options like sc.binaryFiles and sc.pickleFile.
