[jira] [Created] (SPARK-27093) Honor ParseMode in AvroFileFormat
Tim Cerexhe created SPARK-27093:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Honor ParseMode in AvroFileFormat
Key: SPARK-27093
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27093
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Input/Output
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Reporter: Tim Cerexhe
The Avro reader is missing the ability to handle malformed or truncated files like the JSON reader. Currently it throws exceptions when it encounters any bad or truncated record in an Avro file, causing the entire Spark job to fail from a single dodgy file.
Ideally the AvroFileFormat would accept a Permissive or DropMalformed ParseMode like Spark's JSON format. This would enable the the Avro reader to drop bad records and continue processing the good records rather than abort the entire job.
Obviously the default could remain as FailFastMode, which is the current effective behavior, so this wouldn’t break any existing users.
