HP has shipped the wrong version of vertica-hcatalogudl.jar with the product.

When I execute this line

 

 

create or replace library public.VHCatalogLib as 
'/opt/vertica/packages/hcat/lib2/vertica-hcatalogudl.jar' 
DEPENDS '/opt/vertica/packages/hcat/lib/*.*' language 'java';

 

 

 

I can see that the library file creates the following objects in vertica

 

 

SELECT * FROM USER_LIBRARY_MANIFEST WHERE lib_name = 'VHCatalogLib';
 schema_name |   lib_name   |      lib_oid      |                     obj_name                     |    obj_type     | arg_types | return_type
-------------+--------------+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+-----------------+-----------+-------------
 public      | VHCatalogLib | 45035996371219906 | com.vertica.hcatalogudl.WebHCatConfLoaderFactory | Scalar Function |           | Varchar
(1 row)

 

But when you look at the code of the VERTICA HCATALOG CONNECTION install.sql it tries 3 objects

 

 

CREATE SOURCE public.VHCatSource as LANGUAGE 'java'  name 'com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsNoOpSourceFactory' library public.VHCatalogLib;
GRANT EXECUTE ON SOURCE public.VHCatSource() TO PUBLIC;
CREATE PARSER public.VHCatParser as LANGUAGE 'java'  name 'com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsParserFactory' library public.VHCatalogLib;
GRANT EXECUTE ON PARSER public.VHCatParser() TO PUBLIC;
CREATE FUNCTION get_webhcat_host as LANGUAGE 'java' name 'com.vertica.hcatalogudl.WebHCatConfLoaderFactory' library public.VHCatalogLib;

 

But as you can see clearly.... that the library file never installed the 2 objects this script is looking for

 

  1. com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsNoOpSourceFactory
  2. com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsParserFactory

This is why the internet is filled with error message 

 

1. Couldn't instantiate class com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsNoOpSourceFactory

2. Couldn't instantiate class com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsParserFactory

 

The reason is that these objects are not installed by the library but the create source and create parser commands depend on it.

 

The reason why the library doesn't contain it is because we have the wrong vertica-hcatalogudl.jar

    Hi, which version of Vertica are you currently running? Can you run uninstall.sql first then run install.sql again to see if this issue can be resolved? I think the problem is for creating VHCatSource and VHCatParser the install.sql is not using CREATE OR REPLACE, which should be fixed. Thanks.

  • knows_not_muchknows_not_much

    I am running 7.1.2 I have run uninstall.sql more than 10 times.

     

    I am very sure that the vertica-hcataloggudl.jar does not have all the code which is needed by install.sql

     

    because install.sql is loading 3 extensions.. but the gudl.jar only has 1.

     

    Can you please contact the actual vertica team... let them confirm if version 7.1.2 gudl.jar and install.sql

    Another possiblility is that you have not copied the Hadoop/Hive jars to the vertica/packages/hcat/lib directory yet. There is some good information here about how to copy and verify your jar files:

     

    http://my.vertica.com/docs/7.2.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/HadoopIntegrationGuide/HCatalogConnector/ConfiguringVerticaForHCatalog.htm%3FTocPath%3DIntegrating%2520with%2520Apache%2520Hadoop|Using%2520the%2520HCatalog%2520Connector|_____5

     

    I found that, if I tried to run install.sql without copying the jar files first, I received a similar message (see below). After copying, it worked as expected. I think this is just a deceptive error message.

     

    release=> \i install.sql
    vsql:install.sql:13: NOTICE 6733:  Did not find any configuration files in dependency paths /opt/vertica/packages/hcat/lib/*.*

    Couldn't instantiate class com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsParserFactory

    Hi, it does seem as Kevin described. You probably did not copy all the required jars to your lib directory. Have you run hcatUtil -v --hcatLibPath=/path/to/jars to verify that you have all the jars in place? If everything is correct, you will find as following query returns:

     

    vsql=> SELECT * FROM USER_LIBRARY_MANIFEST WHERE lib_name = 'VHCatalogLib';
    schema_name | lib_name | lib_oid | obj_name | obj_type | arg_types | return_type
    -------------+--------------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+-----------+-------------
    public | VHCatalogLib | 45035996273738062 | com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsParserFactory | Load Parser Function | |
    public | VHCatalogLib | 45035996273738062 | com.vertica.hcatalogudl.HCatalogSplitsNoOpSourceFactory | Load Source Function | |
    public | VHCatalogLib | 45035996273738062 | com.vertica.hcatalogudl.WebHCatConfLoaderFactory | Scalar Function | | Varchar
    (3 rows)

     

    Note in your result it only has one of the three, which indicates that HCatalogSplitsParserFactory and HCatalogSplitsNoOpSourceFactory is not correctly installed.

  • knows_not_muchknows_not_much

    Hadoop jars are not responsible for installing the vertica modules. ONLY the vertica-hcatalogudl.jar contains the code for the 3 modules. and they are deployed like this

     

     

    create or replace library public.VHCatalogLib as 
    '/opt/vertica/packages/hcat/lib2/vertica-hcatalogudl.jar' 
    DEPENDS '/opt/vertica/packages/hcat/lib/*.*' language 'java';

      

    Anyway I have copied all the jars and below is the output of the hcatUtil verify. It very clearly says that it has everything it needs.

     

     

     

    Summary
    -------

    By looking at the output above, can you still say that I have not copied the hadoop jars and configuration files correctly?

     

     Once again, Hadoop Jars have nothing to do with the 3 modules. these are purely HP vertica stuff and therefore must be deployed by the vertica-hcatalogudl.jar. the problem is that the version of vertica-hcatalogudl.jar which is shipped with vertica 7.1.2 does not contain the 3 modules.

     

  • xiaowei_zhuxiaowei_zhu

    Those jars copied from Hadoop are required to install HCatalog connector library modules. As kevin has shown you above, without those jars you will not be able to install successfully.

     

    I noticed that your vertica-hcatalogudl.jar is under lib2 directory and the dependency jars are set in lib/ directory. Where are the copied jars exactly? I could not tell since you only did hcatUtil -v under hcat/ directory.

     

    Also, could you check UDxFencedProcessesJava.log and see what is the detailed error message?

    You see ONLY 1 module is loaded. where are the other 2. Even though I have copied everything from Hadoop (as verified above by hcatUtil) still only 1 module is loaded

     

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OUTPUT FOR VERSION 7.2 MIGHT BE DIFFERENT. SO YOU MUST ONLY DO TESTING WITH 7,1.2

     

    Can you do a ls on your lib directory and take the details for vertica-hcatalogudl.jar and put the output in your response?

     

    mine is 

     

    -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 43596 Jul  3 00:55 vertica-hcatalogudl.jar

     

    I also opened the log file  sudo -u vertica vi /db/vertica/mydb/v_mydb_node0001_catalog/UDxLogs/UDxFencedProcessesJava.log

     

    and found these 3 lines for today

  • xiaowei_zhuxiaowei_zhu
    Please do hcatUtil -v with path ends with hcat/lib instead of just hcat/. And why there is a lib2 directory under hcat/?
  • knows_not_muchknows_not_much

    There is no lib2. see my last post above. (just before your reply). There is no lib2

  • xiaowei_zhuxiaowei_zhu

    I see. Thanks for your updates. Do note that these jars are required to install those modules.

     

    Another important question is what Hadoop distro did you copy the jars from? With Vertica 7.1.2 we dropped support for some older hadoop distros.

     

    Also, are you sure the UDx log is the right one? The timestamps look wired. Usually if install fails there will be error messages show up in the UDx java log.

  • knows_not_muchknows_not_much

    I am using cloudera 5.4.1

     

    I did a search for UDXFencedProcessesJava.log

    From log I found these error messages, but they are some days ago:

    The root cause is the HCatalog java udl is looking for "org.apache.hcatalog.common.HCatException", which is the class path before Hive 0.14.

     

    This is the old implementation of HCatalog connector. Which specific vertica version are you using? 7.1.2-x. What is the x? Can you try to upgrade to 7.1.2-3 or later and see that can resolve the issue? Check the Vertica hotfix schedule https://my.vertica.com/docs/ReleaseNotes/7.1.x/HP_Vertica_7.1.x_Release_Notes.htm and look for VER-39674 in 7.1.2-3 release note.

  • knows_not_muchknows_not_much

    It seems I am running 7.1.2-2

  • xiaowei_zhuxiaowei_zhu

    OK. Yes you have to upgrade to 7.1.2-3 or higher. And officially, Vertica 7.1.2 only supports CDH5.2 and CDH5.3. 7.2 adds support for CDH5.4.

  • knows_not_muchknows_not_much

    Thank you so much for your help. it makes sense to me now.

     

    I will work with my team to ensure that we use the right version of vertica.

     

    I appriciate you taking the time throughout this day to reach the root cause of this problem. I appriciate your work and thank you for it.

     

    I will revert on this thread once we have the right version. This might take some time... but I will eventually come back.

     

    Thank you so much.

  • xiaowei_zhuxiaowei_zhu

    No problem. Let me know how things go. Thanks.

    We upgraded our Vertica instance to Version 7.2 and after the upgrade the installation was succesful.
