Setting textinputformat record delimiter in spark

0 votes

In Spark, it is possible to set some hadoop configuration settings like, e.g.

System.setProperty("spark.hadoop.dfs.replication", "1")

This works, the replication factor is set to 1. Assuming that this is the case, I thought that this pattern (prepending "spark.hadoop." to a regular hadoop configuration property), would also work for the textinputformat.record.delimiter:

System.setProperty("spark.hadoop.textinputformat.record.delimiter", "\n\n")

However, it seems that spark just ignores this setting. Do I set the textinputformat.record.delimiter in the correct way? Is there a simpler way of setting the textinputformat.record.delimiter. I would like to avoid writing my own InputFormat, since I really only need to obtain records delimited by two newlines.

I got this working with plain uncompressed files with the below function.

import org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.TextInputFormat

def nlFile(path: String) = {
    val conf = new Configuration
    conf.set("textinputformat.record.delimiter", "\n")
    sc.newAPIHadoopFile(path, classOf[TextInputFormat], classOf[LongWritable], classOf[Text], conf)
      .map(_._2.toString)
}
