Reflection "Failed to spill on disks" on Azure Data Lake

Hi,

I’m new to Dremio.

I’m trying to reflect on a dataset stored on Azure Data Lake as csv.gz blobs.

I successfully loaded the data lake. I then create a dataset for each of the 4 sub folders. The dataset total is 1.2 TB.

I then activate raw reflection on each dataset specifying a column with about 1K cardinality. Each reflection fail with “Failed to spill to disk. Please check space availability”.

I run a 5 VMs cluster on E16-v3 sku, which have 400GB of disk space. So that should be plenty for the 1.2 TB, shouldn’t it? Not even one work.

Here are some details on one of them:

Input Bytes: 131.64 GB
Input Records: 458,525,083

Any tips on why this isn’t working?

@vplauzon

Would it be possible to share the query profile?

Hi Balaji,

Of course, here it is. I scrubbed a couple of details (email + storage account name).header.zip (47.3 KB)

Thank you!

@vplauzon

It may be possible that Dremio is not able to write to “/mnt/resource/dremio/spill” due to permissions. Can we validate this?

How can we validate that?

It’s a vanilla image fresh from the Azure Marketplace (VMSS). I didn’t tweak the config in any way.

@vplauzon Log on to “mydremioq000001.internal.cloudapp.net” and go to “/mnt/resource/dremio/spill” and check

Hi Balaji,

Logging in the first executor, trying I got the following with a sudo-cd:

-bash: cd: /mnt/resource/dremio/spill: No such file or directory

The “highest” I could get through the hierarchy is:

$ sudo ls /mnt/resource
DATALOSS_WARNING_README.txt lost+found

I did update the VM scale set image…

Is there an issue with the Azure Marketplace image?

Any ideas?

Do you think there was a bug with the Az Marketplace version I used?

@vplauzon Let me check, For Azure, recommend using AKS, is that possible?

The Azure Marketplace is using VM Scale set. I know AKS is also possible.

@vplauzon On Azure the recommended deployment is AKS, would that be ok to try?

Sure, I’ll give it a shot.
