IllegalStateException from Mongo storage plugin in Apache Drill

Apache Drill (https://drill.apache.org/) is an Open Source framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications for interactive analysis of large scale datasets. It supports several kinds of filesystems and NoSQL databases, including HDFS and MongoDB. In this short post I want to show an exception you could deal with if your Drill installation has the MongoDB storage plugin enabled.
If suddenly, after more than 24 of uptime, any SQL query (not only those against a MongoDB database) issued through Drill throw the following exception:

SYSTEM ERROR: IllegalStateException: state should be: open [Error Id: 57a02508-1920-4360-a111-c2a55a7af15c on hostname:31010]]

this should be related to a connection cache that expires and isn't automatically reset. This issue affects in particular the latest release (1.1.0) of Drill and it is still marked as unresolved at the time of this post writing (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3522), but there is a patch available for it (https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12746251/DRILL-3522.1.patch.txt) that requires the recompilation of Drill from the source code. If you don't feel confident rebuilding it from scratch there is a quick and dirty trick to restore the correct execution of the queries: go to the Drill Web UI and move to the Storage page, disable the mongo storage plugin and then enabled it again.

Exporting InfluxDB data to a CVS file

Sometimes you would need to export a sample of the data from an InfluxDB table to a CSV file (for example to allow a data scientist to do some offline analysis using a tool like Jupyter, Zeppelin or Spark Notebook). It is possible to perform this operation through the influx command line client. This is the general syntax: sudo /usr/bin/influx -database '<database_name>' -host '<hostname>' -username '<username>'  -password '<password>' -execute 'select_statement' -format '<format>' > <file_path>/<file_name>.csv where the format could be csv , json or column . Example: sudo /usr/bin/influx -database 'telegraf' -host 'localhost' -username 'admin'  -password '123456789' -execute 'select * from mem' -format 'csv' > /home/googlielmo/influxdb-export/mem-export.csv

jOOQ: code generation in Eclipse

jOOQ allows code generation from a database schema through ANT tasks, Maven and shell command tools. But if you're working with Eclipse it's easier to create a new Run Configuration to perform this operation. First of all you have to write the usual XML configuration file for the code generation starting from the database: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <configuration xmlns="http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-2.0.4.xsd">   <jdbc>     <driver>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver>     <url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbhost:1700:DBSID</url>     <user>DB_FTRS</user>     <password>password</password>   </jdbc>   <generator>     <name>org.jooq.util.DefaultGenerator</name>     <database>       <name>org.jooq.util.oracle.OracleDatabase</name>     ...

Using Rapids cuDF in a Colab notebook

During last Spark+AI Summit Europe 2019 I had a chance to attend a talk from Miguel Martinez  who was presenting Rapids , the new Open Source framework from NVIDIA for GPU accelerated end-to-end Data Science and Analytics. Fig. 1 - Overview of the Rapids eco-system Rapids is a suite of Open Source libraries: cuDF cuML cuGraph cuXFilter I enjoied the presentation and liked the idea of this initiative, so I wanted to start playing with the Rapids libraries in Python on Colab , starting from cuDF, but the first attempt came with an issue that I eventually solved. So in this post I am going to share how I fixed it, with the hope it would be useful to someone else running into the same blocker. I am assuming here you are already familiar with Google Colab. I am using Python 3.x as Python 2 isn't supported by Rapids. Once you have created a new notebook in Colab, you need to check if the runtime for it is set to use Python 3 and uses a GPU as hardware accelerator. You...
