"Failed to find data source: parquet" when making a fat jar with maven

Question

I am assembling the fat jar with maven assembly plugin and experience the following issue:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to find data source: parquet. Please find packages at http://spark-packages.org

If I run it in Intellij IDEA the problem doesn't occur.

What else should I include to the jar to be able to find the class?

Answer 1

I found the solution to the problem. I tried to build the package with sbt assembly and experienced different but related problem. The solution I found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27532248/5520896 also helps with my original issue.

So what solves the problem is moving from maven assembly plugin to maven shade plugin and apply the transformer

<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ServicesResourceTransformer"/>

So my final pom.xml plugin configuration is the following:

        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>shade</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <createDependencyReducedPom>false</createDependencyReducedPom>

                        <filters>
                            <filter>
                                <artifact>*:*</artifact>
                                <excludes>
                                    <exclude>META-INF/*.SF</exclude>
                                    <exclude>META-INF/*.DSA</exclude>
                                    <exclude>META-INF/*.RSA</exclude>
                                </excludes>
                            </filter>
                        </filters>
                        <transformers>                                
                            <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ServicesResourceTransformer"/>
                        </transformers>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
