Need your help!

I am trying a trivial exercise of getting the data from twitter and then loading it up in Hive for analysis. Though I am able to get data into HDFS using flume (using Twitter 1% firehose Source) and also able to load the data into Hive table.

But unable to see all the columns I have expected to be there in the twitter data like user_location, user_description, user_friends_count, user_description, user_statuses_count. The schema derived from Avro only contains two columns header and body.

Below are the steps I have done:

1) create a flume agent with below conf:

a1.sources = r1
a1.sinks = k1
a1.channels = c1

# Describe/configure the source
a1.sources.r1.type =org.apache.flume.source.twitter.TwitterSource
#a1.sources.r1.type = com.cloudera.flume.source.TwitterSource
a1.sources.r1.consumerKey =XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
a1.sources.r1.consumerSecret =XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
a1.sources.r1.accessToken =XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
a1.sources.r1.accessTokenSecret =XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
a1.sources.r1.keywords = bigdata, healthcare, oozie


# Describe the sink
a1.sinks.k1.type = hdfs
a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.path = hdfs://192.168.192.128:8020/hdp/apps/2.2.0.0-2041/flume/twitter
a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.writeFormat = Text

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.inUsePrefix = _
a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.fileSuffix = .avro
# added for invalid block size error
a1.sinks.k1.serializer = avro_event

#a1.sinks.k1.deserializer.schemaType = LITERAL
# added for  exception java.io.IOException:org.apache.avro.AvroTypeException: Found Event, expecting Doc
#a1.sinks.k1.serializer.compressionCodec = snappy

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.batchSize = 1000
a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.rollSize = 67108864
a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.rollCount = 0
a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.rollInterval = 30


# Use a channel which buffers events in memory
a1.channels.c1.type = memory
a1.channels.c1.capacity = 1000
a1.channels.c1.transactionCapacity = 1000

# Bind the source and sink to the channel
a1.sources.r1.channels = c1
a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1

2) Derive the schema from the avro data file, I don't have any idea why the schema derived from the avro data file only has two columns header and body:

java -jar avro-tools-1.7.7.jar getschema FlumeData.14315982                             30978.avro
{
  "type" : "record",
  "name" : "Event",
  "fields" : [ {
    "name" : "headers",
    "type" : {
      "type" : "map",
      "values" : "string"
    }
  }, {
    "name" : "body",
    "type" : "bytes"
  } ]
}

3) Run the above agent and get the data in HDFS, find out the schema of the avro data and create a Hive table as:

    CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE TwitterData
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ('avro.schema.literal'='
{
  "type" : "record",
  "name" : "Event",
  "fields" : [ {
    "name" : "headers",
    "type" : {
      "type" : "map",
      "values" : "string"
    }
  }, {
    "name" : "body",
    "type" : "bytes"
  } ]
}

')
STORED AS
INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat'
OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat'
LOCATION 'hdfs://192.168.192.128:8020/hdp/apps/2.2.0.0-2041/flume/twitter'
;

4) Describe Hive Table:

hive> describe  twitterdata;
OK
headers                 map<string,string>      from deserializer
body                    binary                  from deserializer
Time taken: 0.472 seconds, Fetched: 2 row(s)

5) Query the table: When I query the table I see the binary data in the 'body'column and the actual schema info in the 'header' column.

select * from twitterdata limit 1;
OK

{"type":"record","name":"Doc","doc":"adoc","fields":[{"name":"id","type":"string"},{"name":"user_friends_count","type":["int","null"]},{"name":"user_location","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"user_description","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"user_statuses_count","type":["int","null"]},{"name":"user_followers_count","type":["int","null"]},{"name":"user_name","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"user_screen_name","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"created_at","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"text","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"retweet_count","type":["long","null"]},{"name":"retweeted","type":["boolean","null"]},{"name":"in_reply_to_user_id","type":["long","null"]},{"name":"source","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"in_reply_to_status_id","type":["long","null"]},{"name":"media_url_https","type":["string","null"]},{"name":"expanded_url","type":["string","null"]}]}�1|$���)]'��G�$598792495703543808�Bあいたぁぁぁぁぁぁぁ!�~�ゆっけ0725Yukken(2015-05-14T10:10:30Z<ん?なんか意味違うわ�<a href="http://twitter.com/download/iphone" rel="nofollow">Twitter for iPhone</a>�1|$���)]'��
Time taken: 2.24 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)

How do I create a hive table with all the columns in the actual schema as shown in the 'header' column. I mean with all the columns like user_location, user_description, user_friends_count, user_description, user_statuses_count?

Shouldn't the schema derived from the avro data file contain more columns?

Is there any issue with the flume-avro source I used in the flume agent (org.apache.flume.source.twitter.TwitterSource)?

Thanks for reading through..

Thanks Farrukh, I have done that the mistake was the configuration 'a1.sinks.k1.serializer = avro_event', I changed this to 'a1.sinks.k1.serializer = text', and I was able to load the data into Hive. But now the issue is retrieving the data from Hive, I am getting the below error while doing so:

        hive> describe twitterdata_09062015;
    OK
    id                      string                  from deserializer
    user_friends_count      int                     from deserializer

Here is step by step process which used to download tweets and loaded them into hive

Flume agent

##TwitterAgent for collecting Twitter data to Hadoop HDFS #####

TwitterAgent.sources = Twitter
TwitterAgent.channels = FileChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks = HDFS


TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.type = org.apache.flume.source.twitter.TwitterSource
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.channels = FileChannel
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerKey = *************
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerSecret = **********
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessToken = ************
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessTokenSecret = ***********

TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.maxBatchSize = 50000
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.maxBatchDurationMillis = 100000

TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.keywords = Apache, Hadoop, Mapreduce, hadooptutorial, Hive, Hbase, MySql

TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.channel = FileChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.type = hdfs
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.path = hdfs://nn1.itbeams.com:9000/user/flume/tweets/avrotweets
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
# you do not need to mentioned avro format here. just mention Text
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.writeFormat = Text
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.batchSize = 200000
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollSize = 0
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollCount = 2000000

TwitterAgent.channels.FileChannel.type = file
TwitterAgent.channels.FileChannel.checkpointDir = /var/log/flume/checkpoint/
TwitterAgent.channels.FileChannel.dataDirs = /var/log/flume/data/

I created avro schema in avsc file. Once you create then put this file in hadoop against your user folder like /user/youruser/.

{"type":"record",
 "name":"Doc",
 "doc":"adoc",
 "fields":[{"name":"id","type":"string"},
           {"name":"user_friends_count","type":["int","null"]},
           {"name":"user_location","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"user_description","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"user_statuses_count","type":["int","null"]},
           {"name":"user_followers_count","type":["int","null"]},
           {"name":"user_name","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"user_screen_name","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"created_at","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"text","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"retweet_count","type":["long","null"]},
           {"name":"retweeted","type":["boolean","null"]},
           {"name":"in_reply_to_user_id","type":["long","null"]},
           {"name":"source","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"in_reply_to_status_id","type":["long","null"]},
           {"name":"media_url_https","type":["string","null"]},
           {"name":"expanded_url","type":["string","null"]}

Loaded tweets in hive table. If you save code in hql file that would be great.

CREATE TABLE tweetsavro
  ROW FORMAT SERDE
     'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe'
  STORED AS INPUTFORMAT
     'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat'
  OUTPUTFORMAT
     'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat'
  TBLPROPERTIES ('avro.schema.url'='hdfs:///user/youruser/examples/schema/twitteravroschema.avsc') ;

LOAD DATA INPATH '/user/flume/tweets/avrotweets/FlumeData.*' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE tweetsavro;
