Not able to read text file from local file path - Spark CSV reader

[SankaraiahNaray]

We are using Spark CSV reader to read the csv file to convert as DataFrame and we are running the job on

yarn-client

, its working fine in local mode.

We are submitting the spark job in

edge node

.

But when we place the file in local file path instead of HDFS, we are getting file not found exception.

Code:

sqlContext.read.format("com.databricks.spark.csv")
      .option("header", "true").option("inferSchema", "true")
      .load("file:/filepath/file.csv")

We also tried

file:///

, but still we are getting the same error.

Error log:

The path should be with file:/// and it works for me. @

Not sure if this got resolved for you or not. If not let me know know so that i can share my code.

[gopinathsh]

Hi, Please share your code to help me resolve the above issue as I am facing the same issue mentioned.

[EricBellet]

It works if a run the code using a Notebook, but if I use a Spark Submit or Python Submit job it doesn't work

searching for the related issue for mykfcexperience and looking forward to getting a solution in this website

I tried in all the possible ways to read the files and I can't. With a Notebook it works, but I need to run a Spark Submit job and in that way it does not work

pdf = pd.read_csv("/databricks/driver/zipFiles/s3Sensor/2017/Tracking_Bounces_20190906.csv.zip/Bounces.csv")
pdf2 = pd.read_csv("file:/databricks/driver/zipFiles/s3Sensor/2017/Tracking_Bounces_20190906.csv.zip/Bounces.csv")
df3 = pd.read_csv("file:///databricks/driver/zipFiles/s3Sensor/2017/Tracking_Bounces_20190906.csv.zip/Bounces.csv")

Does the file exist on executor node?

[abhi_1825]

I am also not able to read a csv file from a C:\ drive location. Can anyone help? I get error as path doesnt exist.

Code snippet -

path = 'file:///C:/Users/folder_1/folder_2/folder_3/xyz.csv'

df = spark.read.csv(path)

Tried lots of combinations for above path but no success.

Hi, Thanks for replying. Do we have any update on this? As far as i looked, it seems we cant read a local file directly. Is it the case.

Accordingly, can i connect to ADLS gen2 storage(Azure) while using community edition of Databricks? I am getting an error there as well.

Thank You.

Hi @Sankaraiah Narayanasamy​ ,

Seems like a bug in spark-shell command when reading a local file, But there is a workaround while running spark-submit command just specify in the command.

--conf "spark.authenticate=false"

SPARK-23476 for reference.
