Hi Friends,
I am evaluating Power Bi connecting to HDFS am facing an error. HDFS connection is established through Power BI, even am able to see the files in the HDFS. But when trying to load the data into Power BI some of the data is loading but after some time its showing error (out of memory), even tried with increacing the ram on my machine to 32 Gb then also faced the
same error. My data size in HDFS is not more than 300MB.
Please help me ot to solve the issue, had anyone tried to connect with HDFS? and also tried connecting with spark, am unable to establish a connection.
Have you tried the 64bit version of PBI desktop?
Hi Pqain, thanks for the reply. I am using 64 bit version.
64bit and still running out of memory? O.o
It'll be interested to know how you are importing the HDFS data. Are you concatentating the files? Can you share the Query formula with us?
Regards,
PQ
