Issue with Dataiku Python API Interpreting Paths as Local File System Instead of HDFS
Problem Statement:
When attempting to read a Dataiku dataset into a Spark DataFrame using the Dataiku Python API (`dataiku.Dataset` and `dkuspark.get_dataframe`), an error occurs indicating that the input path does not exist. However, when directly reading the CSV file from HDFS using Spark's `read.csv` method, the operation succeeds without errors.
Environment:
Dataiku version: 11.3.2
Spark version: 3.2.0
Hadoop version: 3.3.5
Python version 3.7.17
Operating system: Ubuntu
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a SparkSession with HDFS configuration using the following code:
```python
import dataiku
import dataiku.spark as dkuspark
import pyspark
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext, SparkSession
sc = SparkSession.builder.config("spark.hadoop.fs.defaultFS", "hdfs://localhost:9000").getOrCreate()
sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)
```
2. Attempt to read a Dataiku dataset into a Spark DataFrame using the Dataiku Python API:
```python
mydataset = dataiku.Dataset("complaints_prepared")
df = dkuspark.get_dataframe(sqlContext, mydataset)
df.count()
```
3. Observe the error message:
```
Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o123.count.
: org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.InvalidInputException: Input path does not exist: file:/user/hadoop/dss_managed_datasets/COMPLAINTS/complaints_prepared
...
```
Observations:
- The error message indicates that Spark is trying to interpret the path as a local file system path (`file:/user/hadoop/dss_managed_datasets/COMPLAINTS/complaints_prepared`) instead of an HDFS path.
- However, directly reading the CSV file from HDFS using Spark's `read.csv` method works without errors.
Expected Behavior:
- The Dataiku Python API should correctly interpret the path as an HDFS path and successfully read the dataset into a Spark DataFrame without errors.
Additional Information:
- Both Spark and Hadoop are enabled and configured properly, as evidenced by the successful operation when directly reading from HDFS using Spark's native methods.
Request for Assistance:
- Kindly provide insights into why the Dataiku Python API might be interpreting the path incorrectly or suggest any troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.
