Question

I'm trying to write the dataset results into a single CSV using below using JAVA

dataset.write().mode(SaveMode.Overwrite).option("header",true).csv("C:\\tmp\\csvs");

But it goes for timed out , the file is not being written.

Throws org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted.

Error:

Answer 1

You might want to narrow down to fixing the following exception:

java.io.IOException: (null) entry in command string: null chmod 0644

Try set HADOOP_HOME to the subdirectory with bin\winutils.exe as reported in this SO question. If that doesn't help, there is a work-around reported at another SO link.
