AWS Glue Job Error : An error occurred while calling o115.getDynamicFrame.: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: empty.reduceLeft

Question

Hello Friends,
I am working on a project that reads data from Dremio data lakehouse solution, I am trying to read the data from one of its schema. Glue does not natively come with the connector, so I had to build a custom jdbc.

See my code base

```
import sys
from awsglue.transforms import *
from awsglue.utils import getResolvedOptions
from pyspark.context import SparkConf, SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from awsglue.context import GlueContext
from awsglue.job import Job
conf = SparkConf()

args = getResolvedOptions(sys.argv, ['JOB_NAME'])

conf.set("spark.sql.extensions", "org.apache.iceberg.spark.extensions.IcebergSparkSessionExtensions")\
    .set("spark.sql.catalog.glue_catalog", "org.apache.iceberg.spark.SparkCatalog")\
    .set("spark.sql.catalog.glue_catalog.warehouse", "s3://dev-smt-data-cache/stageZone_iceberg/iceber_repo/smt-data/")\
    .set("spark.sql.catalog.glue_catalog.catalog-impl", "org.apache.iceberg.aws.glue.GlueCatalog")\
    .set("spark.sql.catalog.glue_catalog.io-impl","org.apache.iceberg.aws.s3.S3FileIO")\
    .set("--datalake-formats","iceberg")

sc = SparkContext(conf=conf)
glueContext = GlueContext(sc)

# below spark session will have the above configuration
spark = glueContext.spark_session   
job = Job(glueContext)
job.init(args['JOB_NAME'], args)

DynamicFrame = glueContext.create_dynamic_frame.from_options(
        connection_type = "jdbc", 
        connection_options = {
        "query":""" 'SELECT FileID FROM "mp2-appsrvspace".ESG.CTG."USG_2000_Transaction" LIMIT 10' """,
        "inferSchema":True,
        # "dbtable": """ "mp2-appsrvspace".ESG.CTG."USG_2000_Transaction" """,
        "connectionName":"Dremio-Stage"}
         #"transformation_ctx" = "DynamicFrame"
         )

applyformat = ApplyMapping.apply(
    frame =DynamicFrame, 
    mappings =
        [("field1","string","field1","string")
        #("field2","string","field2","string") 
        ], 
    transformation_ctx = "applyformat"
    )      
dynamicFrame = DynamicFrame.toDF().createOrReplaceTempView("temp_table")
print(dynamicFrame.head(5))
```

I keep getting this error before , I have different approaches none working out
```
   raise Py4JJavaError(
py4j.protocol.Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o115.getDynamicFrame.
: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: empty.reduceLeft
```

I will appreciate  some guide/hints me on how can I fix the problem?

Answer

In this context, that error very likely means that is trying to get a username and password properties from the connection but one is missing (doublecheck what is the right spelling).

Answer

Hello,

Error **'empty.reduceLeft'** is a Scala error which occurs while reducing an empty collection like list, as a collection must have at least one element to perform '**reduce**' operation.  The error suggests that the data set on left side is empty. Please review your data and its inconsistencies for null/empty fields.

Additionally, please review the below references and inspect your code accordingly:

If you would like further support in investigating this issue, please raise a case with AWS Premium Support team and provide your Glue Job Run ID.
