Python: JDBC Connection Error using JayDeBeApi


I'm facing an error while running following code. Please help me solving this issue or suggest an alternative way to connect Vertica server via JDBC.

I have also tried connecting using pyspark. But with pyspark we are not able to execute sql query in vertica server.

System Configuration:

Linux with python 3.7.0

jaydebeapi version - 1.1.1

jpype version - 0.7.2

import jaydebeapi
import jpype

jdbc_url = 'jdbc:vertica://XX.XX.XXX.XXX/DATA?XXXXX'
vertica_properties={"user": "XXXX", "password": "XXXXX"}

jars = ['XXXX/vertica-jdbc-9.3.1-0.jar', 
        'XXXX/vertica-spark2.1_scala2.11.jar', 
        'XXXX/CustomVerticaDialect.jar']

connection = jaydebeapi.connect(jclassname='com.vertica.jdbc.Driver', url=jdbc_url, driver_args=vertica_properties, jars=jars)
connection

ERROR

Solution

  • The jaydebeapi seems to be incompatible with jpype 0.7.2 as of Mar 2020. Here is the github page that points out this issue: http://github.com/baztian/jaydebeapi/issues/99.

    The solution as per the github page is to downgrade jpype to jpype 0.6.3 using either:

    pip install JPype1==0.6.3 --force-reinstall
    

    or

    conda install -c conda-forge JPype1=0.6.3 --force-reinstall
    

    Downgrading jpype worked for me
