I am having trouble reading csv using spark.read.csv - I am not sure what wrong with this particular location I am getting null pointer exceptions error. When I read other csv files it looks fine . Anyone faced similar issues . Please let me know

[]$ hdfs dfs -ls /hdfsData/bdipoc/poc/Inbound/tmp/.TEST/23329_20210430_162409/src_copy_file.file

The file was created by another spark process and read in this step for processing . Will folders have . cause any issue ? or is it anything basic I am doing wrong.

You need to pass in the path with file system. Try giving full qualified path with file system, like spark.read.csv("hdfs:///hdfsData/bdipoc/poc/Inbound/tmp/.TEST/23329_20210430_162409/src_copy_file.file/*.csv")

Update: To use regex pattern,

spark.read.csv("hdfs:///hdfsData/bdipoc/poc/Inbound/tmp/.TEST/23329_20210430_162409/src_copy_file.file/[part-]*.csv")

  • Dont think thats is the problem >>> >>> spark.read.csv("hdfs://hostname/hdfsData/bdipoc/poc/Inbound/hifitmp/.HIFI/23329_20210430_162409/src_copy_file.file/part-00000-4a4cd500-4e34-4403-a75f-61e09210f9ee-c000.csv") DataFrame[_c0: string] >>> spark.read.csv("hdfs://hostname/hdfsData/bdipoc/poc/Inbound/hifitmp/.HIFI/23329_20210430_162409/src_copy_file.file/part-*.csv")py4j.protocol.Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o76.csv. : java.lang.NullPointerException – Rafa May 03 '21 at 21:40
  • I guess that is not a valid regex in 2nd use. Please use [part-]*.csv – Mohd Avais May 03 '21 at 22:01
  • The file reading is written using spark.write.text . When reading a spark.write.text written file with spark.read.csv its throwing some error. The same file is read if read as spark.read.text – Rafa May 04 '21 at 04:01
