What to Do When DolphinScheduler Fails to Recognize Symbols While Scheduling Complex HiveSQL Tasks

When using Apache DolphinScheduler to schedule complex HiveSQL tasks, HQL might contain various symbols that DolphinScheduler fails to recognize. What should you do in this situation? This article provides feasible solutions and methods for users to reference.

Objective

After parsing complex JSON in Hive, which includes objects and arrays, and arrays within arrays, I thought everything was fine. However, scheduling the task in DolphinScheduler caused major issues and took an entire day to resolve. After trying many methods and exhausting countless brain cells, I finally solved the problem!

Error Logs Caused by the Previous Method

DolphinScheduler fails to correctly recognize various symbols in HiveSQL when parsing complex JSON.

Solution

Place HiveSQL in a separate SQL file, then execute the Hive source SQL file in the script.

SQL File

• Use hurys_dc_ods database
  use hurys_dc_dwd;

• Hive optimization (must execute optimization statements first, or some complex SQL may fail)
  set hive.vectorized.execution.enabled=false;

• Enable dynamic partitioning (default is true, enabled)
  set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;

• Set to non-strict mode; nonstrict mode allows all partition fields to use dynamic partitioning
  set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;

• Maximum dynamic partitions that can be created per node in each MR execution
  set hive.exec.max.dynamic.partitions.pernode=1000;

• Maximum total dynamic partitions that can be created on all MR nodes. Default is 1000
  set hive.exec.max.dynamic.partitions=1500;

DolphinScheduler Task Execution Script

#! /bin/bash
source /etc/profile

nowdate=`date --date='0 days ago' "+%Y-%m-%d"`
yesdate=`date -d yesterday +%Y-%m-%d`

hive -e "
source   dwd_json_statistics.sql
" 

Execute the Task and Verify the Results

Finally, the issue is resolved! If you encounter similar problems where the scheduler can't recognize symbols in SQL, you can use this method. Place the SQL in a SQL file, and then execute this SQL file in the script to avoid such problems.
