Use Databricks job to output Hadoop HFile - scala

Question

I to use a Databricks job to use the saveAsNewAPIHadoopFile interface to write an HFile.
Inside a local spark test instance it works great, but inside a Databricks job it fails with:
NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.HFile.
In details
My current dependencies look like that:
My test notebook has the following steps:
1. Some imports
import java.sql.Timestamp
import java.nio.ByteBuffer
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.{Admin, ConnectionFactory, HTable}
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.ImmutableBytesWritable
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.{HBaseConfiguration, KeyValue, TableName}
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.HFileOutputFormat2
import java.util.UUID
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job
2. Setup hbase config (copied from HBase cluster)
val hbaseConfig = HBaseConfiguration.create()
hbaseConfig.set("dfs.domain.socket.path", "/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/dn_socket")
hbaseConfig.set("dfs.support.append", "false")
[...]
hbaseConfig.set("zookeeper.session.timeout", "120000")
hbaseConfig.set("zookeeper.znode.parent", "/hbase-unsecure")
hbaseConfig.set("hbase.mapreduce.hfileoutputformat.table.name", "DeviceData")
3. Save DataSet
mappedData.saveAsNewAPIHadoopFile(
stagingDir,
classOf[ImmutableBytesWritable],
classOf[KeyValue],
classOf[HFileOutputFormat2],
hbaseConfig
)
The error
Caused by: Job aborted due to stage failure.
Caused by: Task failed while writing rows
Caused by: NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.HFile

The question
I tried everything to understand whats the difference between the Databricks job and my local one.
I'm absolut out of ideas.
Update 1 - 2021-08-09
We have no also reduced the installed libs to the minimum needed, to use the default installed Hadoop-Common lib and avoid conflicts.
Still getting this neasty error even on really basic static operations.
Update 2
Based on the compatibility matrix of HBase, it would be good to know with Hadoop version DataBricks cluster is using by default and how to replace them with a compatible one.

Answer 1

The basic problem were some missing dependencies.
The point that I was not able to detect this was, that after cluster restart the concrete error was only showed one time. After this point, any operation on the running cluster only showing the misleading error NoClassDefFoundError. I think this is because at cluster start, HBase libraries are doing some initial stuff. If this fails, it will not produce any useful error message until you restart the cluster.
The concrete error here were two missing libraries org.apache.hbase:hbase-metrics and ‎org.apache.hbase:hbase-metrics-api.
