Spark read file from S3 using sc.textFile ("s3n://...)

Trying to read a file located in S3 using spark-shell:

scala> val myRdd = sc.textFile("s3n://myBucket/myFile1.log")
lyrics: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String] = s3n://myBucket/myFile1.log MappedRDD[55] at textFile at <console>:12

scala> myRdd.count
java.io.IOException: No FileSystem for scheme: s3n
	at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.getFileSystemClass(FileSystem.java:2607)
	at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.createFileSystem(FileSystem.java:2614)
	at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.access$200(FileSystem.java:91)
    ... etc ...

The IOException: No FileSystem for scheme: s3n error occurred with:

• Spark 1.31 or 1.40 on dev machine (no Hadoop libs)
• Running from the Hortonworks Sandbox HDP v2.2.4 (Hadoop 2.60) which integrates Spark 1.2.1 out of the box
• Using s3:// or s3n:// scheme

What is the cause of this error? Missing dependency, Missing configuration, or mis-use of sc.textFile()?

Or may be this is due to a bug that affects Spark build specific to Hadoop 2.60 as this post seems to suggest. I am going to try Spark for Hadoop 2.40 to see if this solves the issue.

Confirmed that this is related to the Spark build against Hadoop 2.60. Just installed Spark 1.4.0 "Pre built for Hadoop 2.4 and later" (instead of Hadoop 2.6). And the code now works OK.

sc.textFile("s3n://bucketname/Filename") now raises another error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key must be specified as the username or password (respectively) of a s3n URL, or by setting the fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId or fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey properties (respectively).

The code below uses the S3 URL format to show that Spark can read S3 file. Using dev machine (no Hadoop libs).

scala> val lyrics = sc.textFile("s3n://MyAccessKeyID:MySecretKey@zpub01/SafeAndSound_Lyrics.txt")
lyrics: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String] = MapPartitionsRDD[3] at textFile at <console>:21

scala> lyrics.count
res1: Long = 9

Even Better: the code above with AWS credentials inline in the S3N URI will break if the AWS Secret Key has a forward "/". Configuring AWS Credentials in SparkContext will fix it. Code works whether the S3 file is public or private.

sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId", "BLABLA")
sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey", "....") // can contain "/"
val myRDD = sc.textFile("s3n://myBucket/MyFilePattern")
myRDD.count

Despite that this question has already an accepted answer, I think that the exact details of why this is happening are still missing. So I think there might be a place for one more answer.

If you add the required hadoop-aws dependency, your code should work.

Starting Hadoop 2.6.0, s3 FS connector has been moved to a separate library called hadoop-aws. There is also a Jira for that: Move s3-related FS connector code to hadoop-aws.

This means that any version of spark, that has been built against Hadoop 2.6.0 or newer will have to use another external dependency to be able to connect to the S3 File System.
Here is an sbt example that I have tried and is working as expected using Apache Spark 1.6.2 built against Hadoop 2.6.0: > libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-aws" % "2.6.0"

In my case, I encountered some dependencies issues, so I resolved by adding exclusion:

> libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-aws" % "2.6.0" exclude("tomcat", "jasper-compiler") excludeAll ExclusionRule(organization = "javax.servlet")

On other related note, I have yet to try it, but that it is recommended to use "s3a" and not "s3n" filesystem starting Hadoop 2.6.0. >The third generation, s3a: filesystem. Designed to be a switch in replacement for s3n:, this filesystem binding supports larger files and promises higher performance.

You can add the --packages parameter with the appropriate jar: to your submission:

bin/spark-submit --packages com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-pom:1.10.34,org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:2.6.0 code.py

I had to copy the jar files from a hadoop download into the $SPARK_HOME/jars directory. Using the --jars flag or the --packages flag for spark-submit didn't work.

Details:

• Spark 2.3.0
• Hadoop downloaded was 2.7.6
• Two jar files copied were from (hadoop dir)/share/hadoop/tools/lib/
  • aws-java-sdk-1.7.4.jar
  • hadoop-aws-2.7.6.jar

This is a sample spark code which can read the files present on s3

val hadoopConf = sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration
hadoopConf.set("fs.s3.impl", "org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3native.NativeS3FileSystem")
hadoopConf.set("fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId", s3Key)
hadoopConf.set("fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey", s3Secret)
var jobInput = sparkContext.textFile("s3://" + s3_location)

Ran into the same problem in Spark 2.0.2. Resolved it by feeding it the jars. Here's what I ran:

$ spark-shell --jars aws-java-sdk-1.7.4.jar,hadoop-aws-2.7.3.jar,jackson-annotations-2.7.0.jar,jackson-core-2.7.0.jar,jackson-databind-2.7.0.jar,joda-time-2.9.6.jar

scala> val hadoopConf = sc.hadoopConfiguration
scala> hadoopConf.set("fs.s3.impl","org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3native.NativeS3FileSystem")
scala> hadoopConf.set("fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId",awsAccessKeyId)
scala> hadoopConf.set("fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey", awsSecretAccessKey)
scala> val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
scala> sqlContext.read.parquet("s3://your-s3-bucket/")

obviously, you need to have the jars in the path where you're running spark-shell from

There is a Spark JIRA, SPARK-7481, open as of today, oct 20, 2016, to add a spark-cloud module which includes transitive dependencies on everything s3a and azure wasb: need, along with tests.

And a Spark PR to match. This is how I get s3a support into my spark builds

If you do it by hand, you must get hadoop-aws JAR of the exact version the rest of your hadoop JARS have, and a version of the AWS JARs 100% in sync with what Hadoop aws was compiled against. For Hadoop 2.7.{1, 2, 3, ...}

hadoop-aws-2.7.x.jar 
aws-java-sdk-1.7.4.jar
joda-time-2.9.3.jar
+ jackson-*-2.6.5.jar

Stick all of these into SPARK_HOME/jars. Run spark with your credentials set up in Env vars or in spark-default.conf

the simplest test is can you do a line count of a CSV File

val landsatCSV = "s3a://landsat-pds/scene_list.gz"
val lines = sc.textFile(landsatCSV)
val lineCount = lines.count()

Get a number: all is well. Get a stack trace. Bad news.

For Spark 1.4.x "Pre built for Hadoop 2.6 and later":

I just copied needed S3, S3native packages from hadoop-aws-2.6.0.jar to spark-assembly-1.4.1-hadoop2.6.0.jar.

After that I restarted spark cluster and it works. Do not forget to check owner and mode of the assembly jar.

I was facing the same issue. It worked fine after setting the value for fs.s3n.impl and adding hadoop-aws dependency.

sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId", awsAccessKeyId)
sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey", awsSecretAccessKey)
sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("fs.s3n.impl", "org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3native.NativeS3FileSystem")

S3N is not a default file format. You need to build your version of Spark with a version of Hadoop that has the additional libraries used for AWS compatibility. Additional info I found here, https://www.hakkalabs.co/articles/making-your-local-hadoop-more-like-aws-elastic-mapreduce

You probably have to use s3a:/ scheme instead of s3:/ or s3n:/ However, it is not working out of the box (for me) for the spark shell. I see the following stacktrace:

What I think - you have to manually add the hadoop-aws dependency manually http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|org.apache.hadoop|hadoop-aws|2.7.1|jar But I have no idea how to add it to spark-shell properly.

1. Download the hadoop-aws jar from maven repository matching your hadoop version.
2. Copy the jar to $SPARK_HOME/jars location.

Now in your Pyspark script, setup AWS Access Key & Secret Access Key.

spark.sparkContext._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId", "ACCESS_KEY")
spark.sparkContext._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey", "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESSS_KEY")

// where spark is SparkSession instance

For Spark scala:

spark.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set("fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId", "ACCESS_KEY")
spark.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set("fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey", "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESSS_KEY")

USe s3a instead of s3n. I had similar issue on a Hadoop job. After switching from s3n to s3a it worked.

e.g.

s3a://myBucket/myFile1.log
