Paul Rogers updated DRILL-5929:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.13.0
> Misleading error for text file with blank line delimiter
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-5929
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5929
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Reporter: Paul Rogers
> Assignee: Paul Rogers
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.13.0
>
>
> Consider the following functional test query:
> {code}
> select * from table(`table_function/colons.txt`(type=>'text',lineDelimiter=>'\\'))
> {code}
> For some reason (yet to be determined), when running this from Java, the line delimiter ended up empty. This cases the following line to fail with an {{ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException}}:
> {code}
> class TextInput ...
> public final byte nextChar() throws IOException {
> if (byteChar == lineSeparator[0]) { // but, lineSeparator.length == 0
> {code}
> We then translate the exception:
> {code}
> class TextReader ...
> public final boolean parseNext() throws IOException {
> ...
> } catch (Exception ex) {
> try {
> throw handleException(ex);
> ...
> private TextParsingException handleException(Exception ex) throws IOException {
> ...
> if (ex instanceof ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException) {
> // Not clear this exception is still thrown...
> ex = UserException
> .dataReadError(ex)
> .message(
> "Drill failed to read your text file. Drill supports up to %d columns in a text file. Your file appears to have more than that.",
> MAXIMUM_NUMBER_COLUMNS)
> .build(logger);
> }
> {code}
> That is, due to a missing delimiter, we get an index out of bounds exception, which we translate to an error about having too many fields. But, the file itself has only a handful of fields. Thus, the error is completely wrong.
> Then, we compound the error:
> {code}
> private TextParsingException handleException(Exception ex) throws IOException {
> ...
> throw new TextParsingException(context, message, ex);
> class CompliantTextReader ...
> public boolean next() {
> ...
> } catch (IOException | TextParsingException e) {
> throw UserException.dataReadError(e)
> .addContext("Failure while reading file %s. Happened at or shortly before byte position %d.",
> split.getPath(), reader.getPos())
> .build(logger);
> {code}
> That is, our AIOB exception became a user exception that became a text parsing exception that became a data read error.
> But, this is not a data read error. It is an error in Drill's own validation logic. Not clear we should be wrapping user exceptions in other errors that we wrap in other user exceptions.
