Locating Abnormal Hive Files¶
Scenario¶
Data files stored in Hive are abnormal due to misoperations or disk damage, thereby causing task execution failures or incorrect data results.
Common non-text data files can be located using the specified tool.
Note
This section applies only to MRS 3.2.0 or later.
Procedure¶
Log in to the node where the Hive service is installed as user omm and run the following command to go to the Hive installation directory:
cd ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_HD_*/install/FusionInsight-Hive-*/hive-*/bin
Run the following tool to locate abnormal Hive files:
sh hive_parser_file.sh [--help] <filetype> <command> <input-file|input-directory>
Table 1 describes the related parameters.
Note: You can run only one command at a time.
Table 1 Parameter description¶ Parameter
Description
Remarks
filetype
Specifies the format of the data file to be parsed. Currently, only the ORC, RC (RCFile), and Parquet formats are supported.
Currently, data files in the RC format can only be viewed.
-c
Prints the column information in the current metadata.
The column information includes the class name, file format, and sequence number.
-d
Prints data in a data file. You can limit the data volume using the limit parameter.
The data is the content of the specified data file. Note that only one value can be specified for the limit parameter at a time.
-t
Prints the time zone to which the data is written.
The time zone is the zone to which the file is written.
-h
Prints the help information.
Help information.
-m
Prints information about various storage formats.
The information varies based on the storage format. For example, if the file format is ORC, information such as strip and block size will be printed.
-a
Prints detailed information.
The detailed information, including the preceding parameters, is displayed.
input-file
Specifies the data files to be input.
If the input directory contains a file of the supported formats, the file will be parsed. Otherwise, this operation is omitted. You can specify a local file or an HDFS/OBS file or directory.
input-directory
Specifies the directory where the input data file is located. This parameter is used when there are multiple subfiles.
Example:
sh hive_parser_file.sh orc -d limit=100 hdfs://hacluster/user/hive/warehouse/orc_test
If the file name does not contain a prefix similar to hdfs://hacluster, the local file is read by default.
