Writing delta lake to AWS S3 (Without Databricks)

Question

# Creating PySpark Object
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("XMLParser").getOrCreate()
sc=spark.sparkContext
hadoop_conf=sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration()
hadoop_conf.set("fs.s3n.impl", "org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3native.NativeS3FileSystem")
hadoop_conf.set("fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId", aws_key)
hadoop_conf.set("fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey", aws_secret)

Then I am able to read the file using following code from my s3 bucket

df = spark.read.format("xml").options(rootTag='returnResult', rowTag="query").load("s3n://bucketName/folder/file.xml")

But when I tried to write back to s3 using delta lake (parquet file) using this code

df.write.format("delta").mode('overwrite').save("s3n://bucket/folder/file")

I am getting this error

    Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o778.save.
: java.io.IOException: The error typically occurs when the default LogStore implementation, that
 is, HDFSLogStore, is used to write into a Delta table on a non-HDFS storage system.
 In order to get the transactional ACID guarantees on table updates, you have to use the
 correct implementation of LogStore that is appropriate for your storage system.
 See https://docs.delta.io/latest/delta-storage.html " for details.

I tried to follow the link given in the stacktrace, but not able to figure out how can i resolve this. Any help would be appericiated

Answer 1

After creating the spark session, you need to add configuration provided by databricks for enabling s3 as delta store like:

conf = spark.sparkContext._conf.setAll([('spark.delta.logStore.class','org.apache.spark.sql.delta.storage.S3SingleDriverLogStore')])
spark.sparkContext._conf.getAll()

As the name suggests, the S3SingleDriverLogStore implementation only works properly when all concurrent writes originate from a single Spark driver. This is an application property, must be set before starting SparkContext, and cannot change during the lifetime of the context.

From Databricks visit here for configuring s3a path access key and secret key.
