need help to Store fluentd logs in azure datalake as parquet.gz format

[wasifshareef]

Hi,

I will appreciate if you can help me to conform if fluentd-plugin-azurestorage-gen2 supports fluentd logs shipped to azure datalake as perquet.gz format.

I tried with below configuration for store but it doesnot store files in perquet.gz . I believe perquet.gz format is supported with fluentd-s3 plugin

@type azurestorage_gen2
time_as_integer true
##################################################################
azure_oauth_tenant_id xxxxxxxx
azure_oauth_app_id xxxxxxxxx
azure_oauth_secret xxxxxxxxx
azure_oauth_identity_authority https://login.microsoftonline.com
azure_storage_account xxxxx
azure_container xxxxx
auto_create_container true

store_as gzip

     store_as                         parquet
     compress                         parquet
     parquet_compression_codec        gzip
     format                           single_value

@oleewere , I will appreciate if you can provide some help here ,Thanks

[oleewere]

@wasifshareef - s3 has that implementation, here it does not but i will try to add that feature on the weekend

[wasifshareef]

@oleewere , Thanks very much. I appreciate your help and support here

[oleewere]

you can check this change: #20 - maybe test the file on your code if you think

[wasifshareef]

Hi @oleewere , I was able to update below location with azurestorage_gen2_compressor_parquet.rb file you shared. Can you please share sample conf file to know how you updated the store as value there in conf file.

Does this look good to you. Do we need to define schema type and file aswell ? . i tried with this conf parameters ,but infortunately its still save files in azure datalake as .txt . I will appreciate if you can provide your inputs here , Thanks!

     store_as                         parquet
     <compress>
             parquet_compression_codec gzip
             record_type json
           #   schema_type avro
           # schema_file /path/to/log.avsc
     </compress>

[oleewere]

did you see any of these logs? "Use 'text' instead" ? (as only textcompressor should use that extension)
I wont have that much free time on the weekend so possibly validate this properly on the next week

[wasifshareef]

I have tried but its still sending logs to azure as normal txt files . Sure , that will be really helpful if you can test and update here
I appreciate your support here .
Thanks.

Hi @oleewere , I will appreciate if you can help to fix the parquet format store issue

[oleewere]

hi @wasifshareef - in the next few days i will have more time so i think i can take a look

[wasifshareef]

@oleewere , Thanks very much, I appreciate your support here !

[oleewere]

@wasifshareef - moved changes to out_azurestorage_gen2.rb on the PR, can you check that implementation again ? also not it requires columnify to be installed (based on the s3 implementation)

[wasifshareef]

@oleewere ,
can you please confirm the syntax for having parquet format in fluentd.conf file , i tried to use the example fluentd,conf file you made available

@type dummy dummy {"hello":"world"} tag mytag

<match **>
@type azurestorage_gen2
azure_storage_account mystorageabfs
azure_container mycontainer
azure_instance_msi /subscriptions/mysubscriptionid
azure_client_id
azure_object_key_format %{path}-%{index}.%{file_extension}
azure_oauth_refresh_interval 3600
time_slice_format %Y%m%d-%H
file_extension log # only used with store_as none
path "/cluster-logs/myfolder/${tag[1]}-#{Socket.gethostname}-%M"
auto_create_container true
store_as parquet
format single_value
local_testing true
local_testing_folder /fluentd/test
<buffer tag,time>
@type file
path /var/log/fluent/azurestorage-buffer
timekey 1m
timekey_wait 0s
timekey_use_utc true
chunk_limit_size 64m

However i am getting error :-
/opt/td-agent/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/fluent-plugin-azurestorage-gen2-0.3.5/lib/fluent/plugin/out_azurestorage_gen2.rb:801:in configure': undefined method parquet_compression_codec' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Can you please help here

Thanks.,
