pyspark mysql jdbc load An error occurred while ca

Question

I use docker image sequenceiq/spark on my Mac to study these spark examples, during the study process, I upgrade the spark inside that image to 1.6.1 according to this answer, and the error occurred when I start the Simple Data Operations example, here is what happened:

when I run df = sqlContext.read.format("jdbc").option("url",url).option("dbtable","people").load() it raise a error, and the full stack with the pyspark console is as followed:

Here is what I have tried till now:

1. Download mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar, and put it in to /usr/local/spark/lib/. It still the same error.

2. Create t.py like this:

   from pyspark import SparkContext  
   from pyspark.sql import SQLContext  
   
   sc = SparkContext(appName="PythonSQL")  
   sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)  
   df = sqlContext.read.format("jdbc").option("url",url).option("dbtable","people").load()  
   
   df.printSchema()  
   countsByAge = df.groupBy("age").count()  
   countsByAge.show()  
   countsByAge.write.format("json").save("file:///usr/local/mysql/mysql-connector-java-5.0.8/db.json")  
   

then, I tried spark-submit --conf spark.executor.extraClassPath=mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar --driver-class-path mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar --jars mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar --master local[4] t.py. The result is still the same.

3. Then I tried pyspark --conf spark.executor.extraClassPath=mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar --driver-class-path mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar --jars mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar --master local[4] t.py, both with and without the following t.py, still the same.

During all of this, the mysql is running. And here is my os info:

# rpm --query centos-release  
centos-release-6-5.el6.centos.11.2.x86_64

And the hadoop version is 2.6.

Now I don't where to go next, so I hope some one can help give some advice, thanks!

Answer 1

I ran into "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver" when I tried to have my script write to MySQL.

Here's what I did to fix that.

In script.py

df.write.jdbc(url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3333/my_database"
                  "?user=my_user&password=my_password",
              table="my_table",
              mode="append",
              properties={"driver": 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'})

Then I ran spark-submit this way

SPARK_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/apache-spark/1.6.1/libexec spark-submit --packages mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.39 ./script.py

Note that SPARK_HOME is specific to where spark is installed. For your environment this https://github.com/sequenceiq/docker-spark/blob/master/README.md might help.

In case all the above is confusing, try this:
In t.py replace

sqlContext.read.format("jdbc").option("url",url).option("dbtable","people").load()

with

sqlContext.read.format("jdbc").option("dbtable","people").option("driver", 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver').load()

And run that with

spark-submit --packages mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.39 --master local[4] t.py
