The csv file consists of boolean data for user preferences (userid,itemid). The file get checked by a preprocessor for any inconsistencies. I have checked it manually as well and the data seems to be consistent and correct format. Two things to note: - The job never fails if there is only one input file to the hadoop job that is to say if all the preferences are exported into a single csv with no duplicate entries for (userid,itemid) - The job randomly fails where there are multiple csv files in the hadoop directory that is initial dump of user preferences plus daily delta files for user preferences.
The job shouldn't fail with ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception if the csv data is consistent and correct throughout. Is it possible that the job might fail if there are duplicate entries for (userid,itemid) across delta files. A lot of these entries are duplicate across several delta files due to boolean preferences.
The logs don't seem to output the bit of data which caused the error. Here is the log:
