Cannot read Parquet files from S3 to Fabric

Hey there,

 

I am currently exploring the opportunities of Fabric. Our main DataLake lives in AWS, therefore I want to load parquet files in one of the S3 buckets.

 

When I select a specific parquet file in the bucket, the Copy Activity in a Fabric pipeline returns the error " ParquetSharp does not understand the schema used". I am trying to access a valid parquet file. 

 

I also attached a Screenshot.

Is this a known bug? 

 

Best,

JB

Any reason why you are specifying compression type as gzip ? 

Because it is the default compression. See here.

I also tried with other compressions and it did not work.

Can you please log a support ticket along with a sample file with which we can reproduce ?

This is the error from the pipeline log:

"errorCode": "2200",
"message": "ErrorCode=ParquetDeserializationError,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=,Source=,''Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=An unexpected error happens when reading from Parquet files.,Source=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Richfile.ParquetTransferPlugin,''Type=System.Exception,Message=ParquetSharp does not understand the schema used,Source=ParquetSharp,''Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=An unexpected error happens when reading from Parquet files.,Source=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Richfile.ParquetTransferPlugin,''Type=System.Exception,Message=ParquetSharp does not understand the schema used,Source=ParquetSharp,''Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=An unexpected error happens when reading from Parquet files.,Source=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Richfile.ParquetTransferPlugin,''Type=System.Exception,Message=ParquetSharp does not understand the schema used,Source=ParquetSharp,''Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=An unexpected error happens when reading from Parquet files.,Source=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Richfile.ParquetTransferPlugin,''Type=System.Exception,Message=ParquetSharp does not understand the schema used,Source=ParquetSharp,'",

Is there a dedicated Fabric support forum or shall I use the Azure Data Factory one? Could you share a link? Thank you.
