[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-7755) MetadataCache.refresh does not take into account _SUCCESS

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7755?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14552120#comment-14552120 ] 

Cheng Lian commented on SPARK-7755:
-----------------------------------

Thanks for reporting, would you mind to elaborate on some more details?

# Could you provide more details about the failure (e.g. full stack trace)?
# What version of Spark SQL were you using? (So that we can fill the "Affects Version/s" field of this ticket.)
# What {{OutputCommitter}} were you using? For normal {{ParquetOutputCommitter}}, if files are partially written, they won't be committed. But the newly introduced {{DirectParquetOutputCommitter}} may confront this problem.

Taking {{_SUCCESS}} into account should make sense for most cases. But the {{_SUCCESS}} marker is also optional, and can be turned off by setting {{mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.marksuccessfuljobs}} to false. Spark SQL uses this property internally when writing Hive dynamic partitions to workaround a Hadoop compatibility issue ([PR #2663|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2663]). Not sure whether there are other scenarios that disable {{_SUCCESS}}.

> When you make a call to sqlc.parquetFile(path) where that path contains partially written files, then refresh will fail in strange ways when it attempts to read footer files.
> I would like to adjust the file discovery to take into account the presence of _SUCCESS and therefore only attempt to ready is we have the success marker.
> I have made the changes locally and it doesn't appear to have any side effects.
> What are peoples thoughts about this?
