spark sql to transfer data between Cassandra tables

Question

Please find the Cassandra table below.

I am trying to copy data from 1 Cassandra table to another Cassandra table with same structure.

Please help me.

CREATE TABLE data2 (
        d_no text,
        d_type text,
        sn_perc int,
        tse_dt timestamp,
        f_lvl text,
        ign_f boolean,
        lk_loc text,
        lk_ts timestamp,
        mi_rem text,
        nr_fst text,
        perm_stat text,
        rec_crt_dt timestamp,
        sr_stat text,
        sor_query text,
        tp_dat text,
        tp_ts timestamp,
        tr_rem text,
        tr_type text,
        PRIMARY KEY (device_serial_no, device_type)
    ) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (device_type ASC)

Data inserted using:

Insert into data2(all column names) values('64FCFCFC','HUM',4,'1970-01-02 05:30:00’ ,’NA’,true,'NA','1970-01-02 05:40:00',’NA’,'NA','NA','1970-02-01 05:30:00','NA','NA','NA','1970-02-03 05:30:00','NA','NA');

Note: The 4th column timestamp when i try to insert like this '1970-01-02 05:30:00’ ,and in dtaframe also timestamp inserted correctly ,but when insert from dataframe to cassandra and use select * from table, i see its being inserted like 1970-01-02 00:00:00.000000+0000

similarly for all time stamp columns its happening .

I want to read these values and write it into another Cassandra table using spark Scala. See code below:

val df2 = spark.read
                       .format("org.apache.spark.sql.cassandra")
                       .option("spark.cassandra.connection.host","hostname")
                       .option("spark.cassandra.connection.port","9042")
                       .option( "spark.cassandra.auth.username","usr")
                       .option("spark.cassandra.auth.password","pas")
                       .option("keyspace","hr")
                       .option("table","data2")
                       .load()
Val df3 =doing some processing on df2.
df3.write
         .format("org.apache.spark.sql.cassandra")
         .mode("append")
         .option("spark.cassandra.connection.host","hostname")
         .option("spark.cassandra.connection.port","9042")
         .option( "spark.cassandra.auth.username","usr")
         .option("spark.cassandra.auth.password","pas")
         .option("spark.cassandra.output.ignoreNulls","true")
         .option("confirm.truncate","true")
         .option("keyspace","hr")
         .option("table","data3")
         .save()

But i am getting below error, when i try to insert data using above code,

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: Invalid row size: 18 instead of 17.

Answer 1

That's a known problem (SPARKC-541) - you're copying the data from table that has DSE Search enabled to the table without it. You simply need to drop this column as part of your transformations:

val df3 = df2.drop("solr_query").... // your transformations

Or you can simply use the newer driver (2.3.1 if you're using OSS driver), or corresponding DSE release that contains this fix.
