Bigtable import error

418 views Asked by At

I generated a sequence file using hive and trying to import it in bigtable, my import job is failing with the error below.

I am using the hive table definition and parameters below for generating the sequence file.

create table ilv_bigtable_test(
item_id int
)
stored as sequencefile
LOCATION 'gs://zxx/xx/aa1_temp/ilv_bigtable_test/'
TBLPROPERTIES('serialization.null.format'='')
;

SET hive.exec.compress.output=true;
SET mapred.max.split.size=256000000;
SET mapred.output.compression.type=BLOCK;

insert overwrite table ilv_bigtable_test
select 
item_id
FROM xxx
;

Below is the hbase create table statement

create 'test', 'item_id'

You need a much later version of Apache Hive – 1.1.0 is the first version to support HBase 1.0 which Cloud Bigtable requires. You can try with Hive 1.2.1 at least.
