[HUDI-7713] Enforce ordering of fields during schema reconciliation #11154

the-other-tim-brown · 2024-05-05T18:31:07Z

Change Logs

Adds ability to get consistent ordering of fields during the schema reconciliation steps

Impact

Consistent ordering of fields within a schema can help users reduce potential issues with HMS or other metastores.

Risk level (write none, low medium or high below)

None, just reorders fields

Documentation Update

Describe any necessary documentation update if there is any new feature, config, or user-facing change. If not, put "none".

The config description must be updated if new configs are added or the default value of the configs are changed
Any new feature or user-facing change requires updating the Hudi website. Please create a Jira ticket, attach the
ticket number here and follow the instruction to make
changes to the website.

+        createPrimitiveField("field2", Schema.Type.INT),
+        createArrayField("field3", createRecord("reorderNestedFields.field3",


@jonvex can you confirm this is the expected naming after reconcile is run?

no, that doesn't look right

What should it look like?

it should be "nestedRecord" I think

https://github.com/apache/hudi/blob/master/hudi-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hudi/internal/schema/convert/AvroInternalSchemaConverter.java#L341 - this logic was not created/updated by me. Do you want me to change it as part of this PR?

    InternalSchema targetInternalSchema = convert(targetSchema);
+    // Use existing fieldIds for consistent field ordering between commits when shouldReorderColumns is true
+    InternalSchema sourceInternalSchema = convert(sourceSchema, shouldReorderColumns ? targetInternalSchema.getNameToPosition() : Collections.emptyMap());


why only source schema? wny not reorder target schema too?

The target schema is the source for the ordering. In this code, the target schema is the existing table and the source is the incoming dataset

-          canonicalizeSchema(sourceSchema, latestTableSchema, opts)
+          canonicalizeSchema(sourceSchema, latestTableSchema, opts, !shouldReconcileSchema)


why shouldn't we reorder columns when reconcile schema is true? Can you please add a note in the comment regarding this?

@jonvex advised to do this. I think it is because reconcile is schema on read?

Reconcile is not necessarily dependent on schema on read. I think the reason might have been to not conflict schema reconciliation rules incase that is enabled. @jonvex to clarify. Whatever be the reason, let's add a comment for reference.

reconcile has been deprecated, so we shouldn't modify it's behavior

Suggested change

* Schema visitor to produce name -> id map for internalSchema.

* Schema visitor to produce name -> position map for internalSchema, where position indicates position of the field in the schema.

High level question: Do we use the InternalSchemaBuilder even when schema on read is disabled?

The internal schema seems to provide some nice utilities but I was not familiar with it before this change

We use internal schema even when schema on read is disabled. We use it to add null for missing columns, promote incoming batch if it can be promoted to the table schema, and also to fix the ordering of unions

codope

LGTM.
@jonvex can you also review?

shouldn't the behavior be the same when reconcile is enabled?

Yes, but reconcile is not always enabled
