Error creating tables from S3 Shortcut (Parquet files)

Hi All,

 

I have an AWS S3 shortcut setup with folders (partitions) of parquet files in my lakehouse. I want to create a table from these parquet files so I can query it with SQL and create views etc. When I right click the parent folder and create new table, I get the following error

The full path for my parquet files looks something like the following; 

 

Files/AWS/2023/11/platform=test/test_1.parquet

 

I don't think this should cause any issues, is there something I am missing? I assume we can take partitioned parquet files and create the tables in fabric to query through SQL?

Hi @Tviney 

 

As a work around:

Open a notebook, attach the lakehouse to the notebook and try to run the below code.
 
df1 = spark.read.format("parquet").load("Files/AWS_1/2023/11/platform=test/") df1.write.mode("overwrite").format("delta").save("Tables/" + "New_Table")
 

This should create a new table in your Lakehouse.

 

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
