Introduction
CDAP pipeline is composed of various plugins . These plugins handle error situations in case of invalid inputs or configurations. While developing that can be configured by users as CDAP pipelines are being developed. While building CDAP pipelines, pipeline developer can provide invalid plugin configurations or schema. For example, the BigQuery sink plugin can have output schema which does not match with an underlying BigQuery table. CDAP pipeline developer can use use new validation endpoint endpoint to validate the stages before deploying the pipeline. In order to fail fast and for better user experience, validation endpoint should return all the validation errors from a given stage when this endpoint is called.
Data pipeline app exposes various exceptions to plugins so that appropriate exception is thrown while validating the pluginserror types for plugin validation. In future releases, new exception error types can be introduced. Data pipeline app should be modified so that app artifacts does not With current implementation, when plugins with new error types are pushed to hub, data pipeline artifacts need to be replaced updated for every new type of exceptionerror that is introduced. This is because the validation errors are defined in the data pipeline app itself. A better approach would be to modify data pipeline app so that app artifacts do not need to be replaced for every new type of error.
Goals
To fail fast and for better user experience, introduce a new api to collect multiple error messages from plugins validation error messages from a stage at configure time
- Decouple various validation exception types error types from data pipeline app
Instrument plugins to use this api to return multiple error messages error messages for validation endpoint
User Stories
- As a CDAP pipeline developer, if a pipeline contains plugin configurations which are invalid, I will like it to fail early with appropriate error message specific to the field or config property.As a CDAP pipeline when I validate a stage, I expect that all the invalid config properties and input/output schema fields are highlighted on CDAP UI with appropriate error message and corrective action.
- As a plugin developer, I should be able to capture all the validation errors while configuring the plugin so that all the validation errors can be surfaced on CDAP UI.
- As a plugin developer, I should be able to incorporate new types of exceptions that are exposed by Data pipeline app in custom plugins use new validation error types without replacing data pipeline app artifacts.
API Changes for Plugin Validation
Plugin Validation
Plugin validation endpoint is used to surface all the stage level errors at once. To Collect Multiple errors from plugins
To collect multiple stage validation errors from the stage, StageConfigurer, MultiInputStageConfigurer and MultiOutputStageConfigurer can be modified as below. If there are one or more errors added to stage configurer, the pipeline deployment will fail. Current implementation does not expose stage name to the plugin in configurePipeline method. Stage name will be needed by the plugins to create stage specific errors. For that, stage name will be exposed to plugins through stage configurer as below.

public String toJson() {
// return json string containing type, error message
return "{\"message\" : \"" + getMessage() + "\", \"type\" : \"" + getType() + "\"}";
}

Sources and sinks can have schema mismatch with underlying storage. A new type of exception can be introduced so that invalid schema fields can be highlighted when schema mismatch occurs:

}
@Override
public String toJson() {
return "{\"message\" : \"" + getMessage() +

In order to validate plugins, this api can be used in plugins as below:
Code Block |

@Override
public void configurePipeline(PipelineConfigurer pipelineConfigurer) {
pipelineConfigurer.createDataset(conf.destinationFileset, FileSet.class);
StageConfigurer stageConfigurer = pipelineConfigurer.getStageConfigurer();

}
if (conf.sourceFileset.equals(conf.destinationFileset)) {
stageConfigurer.addStageError(new ValidationException("source and destination filesets must be different"));
}
} |
Deprecated APIs
Following exception apis will be deprecated:

Impact on UI
UI should be able to handle new error types that are introduced. For example, for invalid stage properties, UI should highlight all the invalid properties for a given stage. For schema mismatch, UI should be able to highlight schema fields that are mismatching. UI should also handle type that are not

Decouple plugin error types from data pipeline app
Approach - 1
To carry error information, a new ValidationFailure class is introduced to collect multiple validation failures in stage configurer. This class can be built using a ValidationFailureBuilder which only allows string properties. The builder expose methods to get message, type and properties of a failure. The validation failures are collected using ValidationException. Using this validation exception whenever plugin has an invalid property that is tied to another invalid property, plugin can throw a validation exception with all the errors collected so far. This keep plugin validation code much simpler.

Approach - 2
Validation error represents an error with various causes with different attributes for each cause. For example, when the input schema field type does not match the underlying sink schema, the cause is input field mismatch with attributes such as stage name, field name, suggested type etc. Each error message can be associated to more than one causes. This can happen for plugins such as joiner and splitter where there are multiple input or output schemas from a given stage. For example, when input schemas for joiner are not compatible, the causes will include mismatching fields from input schemas of incoming stages. This means that a validation error can be represented as a list of causes where each cause is a map of cause attribute to its value as shown below.

Impact on UI
Type | Description | Scenario | Approach - 1 - Json Response | Approach - 2 - Json Response |
---|
StageError | Represents validation error while configuring the stage | If there is any error while connecting to sink while getting actual schema | { "failures": [ { "type": "StageError", "message": "Could not load jdbc driver class.", "correctiveAction": "Make sure correct driver is available.", "properties": { "stage": "src" } } ] }
| { "errors": [ { "message": "Could not load jdbc driver class.", "correctiveAction" : "Make sure correct driver is available.", "causes": [ { "stage": "src" } ] } ] } |
InvalidProperty | Represents invalid configuration property | If config property value contains characters that are not allowed by underlying source or sink | { "failures": [ { "type": "InvalidProperty", "message": "Property 'millis' should be more than 0.", "correctiveAction": "Make sure 'millis' is greater than 0.", "properties": { "stage": "transform", "configProperty": "millis" } } ] } | { "errors": [ { "message": "Property 'millis' should be more than 0.", "correctiveAction" : "Make sure 'millis' is greater than 0.", "causes": [ { "stage": "transform", "stageConfig": "millis" } ] } ] } |
PluginNotFound | Represents plugin not found error for a stage. This error will be added by the data pipeline app | If the plugin was not found. This error will be thrown from the data pipeline app | { "failures": [ { "type": "PluginNotFound", "message": "Plugin named 'Mock' of type 'batchsource' not found.", "correctiveAction": "Please make sure the 'Mock' plugin is installed.", "properties": { "stage": "src", "pluginType": "batchsource", "pluginName": "Mock", "pluginId": "Mock" } } ] } | { "errors": [ { "message": "Plugin named 'Mock' of type 'batchsource' not found.", "correctiveAction" : "Please make sure the 'Mock' plugin is installed.", "causes": [ { "stage": "src", "pluginType": "batchsource", "pluginName": "Mock", "pluginId" : "Mock" } ] } ] } |
InvalidInputSchema | Represents invalid schema field in input schema | If the input schemas for joiner plugin is of different types | { "failures": [ { "type": "InvalidInputSchema", "message": "Invalid schema field 'id'. Different types of join keys found in source1 and source2.", "correctiveAction": "Type of join keys from source1 and source2 must be of same type string", "properties": { "stage": "joiner", "field": "id", "inputStage": "source1" } }, { "type": "InvalidInputSchema", "message": "Invalid schema field 'id'. Different types of join keys found in source1 and source2.", "correctiveAction": "Type of join keys from source1 and source2 must be of same type string", "properties": { "stage": "joiner", "field": "id", "inputStage": "source2" } } ] } | { "failures": [ { "message": "Different types of join keys found.", "correctiveAction" : "Type of join keys from all the sources must be same.", "causes": [ { "stage": "joiner", "joinKey": "source1.id,source2.id" }, { "stage": "joiner", "inputStage": "source1", "inputField": "id" }, { "stage": "joiner", "inputStage": "source2", "inputField": "id" } ] } ] } |
InvalidOutputSchema | Represents invalid schema field in output schema | If the output schema for the plugin is not compatible with underlying sink | { "failures": [ { "type": "InvalidOutputSchema", "message": "Invalid schema field 'email'.", "correctiveAction": "Schema should be of type 'string' at output port 'port'", "properties": { "stage": "splitter", "field": "email", "outputPort": "port" } } ] } | { "errors": [ { "message": "Invalid schema field 'email'.", "correctiveAction" : "Schema should be of type 'string' at output port 'port'", "causes": [ { "stage": "splitter", "outputPort": "port", "outputField": "email" } ] } ] } |
InvalidFieldInProperty | Represents an invalid field in property list | If the property represents list of fields, the failure should include the property name along with invalid field | { "failures": [ { "type": "InvalidFieldInProperty", "message": "Unique field 'name' does not exist in the input schema.", "correctiveAction": "Make sure 'name' field is a correct field.", "properties": { "stage": "Deduplicate", "field": "uniqueFields", "configElement": "name" } } ] }
| { "errors": [ { "message": "Unique field 'name' does not exist in the input schema.", "correctiveAction" : "Make sure 'name' field is a correct field.", "causes": [ { "stage": "Deduplicate", "outputPort": "uniqueFields", "outputField": "name" } ] } ] } |
Conclusion
There are 2 contracts in this design. Programmatic contract between data pipeline app and plugins and another between data pipeline app and UI. Approach 2 does not introduce concept of failure type. This means that contract with UI will be based on the cause attributes rather than the type. This means that if plugins creates a custom failure and uses any of the UI compatible attributes, the UI can still highlight them. Approach 2 also provides association between causes which represents the failure better in case there are multiple causes causing this failure. Hence, Approach 2 is suggested.
