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>     ...

Turning Python Scripts into Working Web Apps Quickly with Streamlit

 I just realized that I am using Streamlit since almost one year now, posted about in Twitter or LinkedIn several times, but never wrote a blog post about it before. Communication in Data Science and Machine Learning is the key. Being able to showcase work in progress and share results with the business makes the difference. Verbal and non-verbal communication skills are important. Having some tool that could support you in this kind of conversation with a mixed audience that couldn't have a technical background or would like to hear in terms of results and business value would be of great help. I found that Streamlit fits well this scenario. Streamlit is an Open Source (Apache License 2.0) Python framework that turns data or ML scripts into shareable web apps in minutes (no kidding). Python only: no front‑end experience required. To start with Streamlit, just install it through pip (it is available in Anaconda too): pip install streamlit and you are ready to execute the working de...
