            Why Do I Keep Receiving an Access Violation Exception?
            Asked 2021-Jun-13 at 00:59

            I am currently on the path of learning C++ and this is an example program I wrote for the course I'm taking. I know that there are things in here that probably makes your skin crawl if you're experienced in C/C++, heck the program isn't even finished, but I mainly need to know why I keep receiving this error after I enter my name: Exception thrown at 0x79FE395E (vcruntime140d.dll) in Learn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xCCCCCCCC. I know there is something wrong with the constructors and initializations of the member variables of the classes but I cannot pinpoint the problem, even with the debugger. I am running this in Visual Studio and it does initially run, but I realized it does not compile with GCC. Feel free to leave some code suggestions, but my main goal is to figure out the program-breaking issue.

            How would chaning the read in AWS Glue change a column's data type?
            Asked 2021-Jun-10 at 14:28

            I have a AWS Glue job that was slightly modified, only the read was changed, the job runs fine however the datatypes on my columns have changed. Where I previously had BigInt, I now just have Ints. This is causing an EMR Job dependent on these files to error out due to the schema mismatch. I'm not sure what would cause this issue since the mapping did not change, so if anyone has insight that would be great here is the old & new code:

            Both spark DataFrame and glue DynamicFrame infer the schema when reading data from json, but evidently, they do it differently: sparks treats all numerical values as bigint, while glue is trying to be clever, and (I guess) looks at the actual range of values on the fly.

            Some more info about DynamicFrame schema inference can be found here.

            If you are going to write parquet in the end anyway, and want the schema stable and consistent, I'd say your easiest way around this is to just revert your change and go back to spark DataFrame. You can also use apply_mapping to change the types explicitly after reading the data, but it seems like defeating the purpose of having the dynamic frame in the first place.

            I have an AWS Glue crawler that is set-up to crawl new folders only. I tried to see if deleting a partition would cause it to re-visit the corresponding S3 folder, and it doesn't. Is there a way I can force a re-visit of a folder, short of changing the crawler to crawl all folders?

            If your partitions are "predictable", for example date based, you could completely bypass the crawlers and use partition projection. See the docs:

            Firebase Firestore not responding
            Asked 2021-Jun-08 at 12:01

            Greeting, in general the problem is this, I created a web application using React JS, like a database using Firesbase Firestore. Everything worked fine until it was time to update the security rules (they were temporary, well, and time was up). It demanded to immediately change the rules, otherwise the base will stop responding after the expiration of the term. At first, I just extended the temporary rules, but it only worked once, after that all such attempts were in vain. After reading the documentation on writing security rules and looking at a couple of tutorials, I decided to write simple rules allow read: if true; allow write: if false;. In the project, the user does not interact with the base in any way, the text simply comes from the base and everything is essentially, so these rules are more than enough. I also additionally checked these rules on the emulator and everything went well. I saved the rules, but the application did not rise, I tried other options, to the extent that I simply put true everywhere and made the base completely open, but to no avail. I have already tried everything and crawled everything, but I still could not find a solution.

            The error is being generated by either testEng/test or testUa/test not actually existing, so their data will be set as undefined. So it's likely that the root cause of this issue is located somewhere else in your app.

            AWS Glue Incremental crawl of continually arriving data on S3
            Asked 2021-Jun-07 at 14:00

            I'm looking for a way to set-up an incremental Glue crawler for S3 data, where data arrives continuously and is partitioned by the date it was captured (so the S3 paths within the include path contain date=yyyy-mm-dd). My concern is, that if I run the crawler in the course of a day, the partition for it will be created, and will not be re-visited in subsequent crawls. Is there a way to force a given partition, that I know might still be receiving updates, to be crawled while running the crawler incrementally and not wasting resources on historic data?

            Answered 2021-Jun-07 at 14:00

            The crawler will visit only new folders with an incremental crawl (assuming you have set crawl new folders only option). The only circumstance where adding more data to an existing folder would cause a problem is if you were changing schema by adding a differently formatted file into a folder that was already crawled. Otherwise the crawler has created the partition and knows the schema, and is ready to pull the data, even if new files are added to the existing folder.

            In case if pipeline code, spider code and process launcher stored in the same file
            You can use __main__ in path to enable pipeline:

            UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Request is already handled
            Asked 2021-Jun-05 at 16:26

            So i have this nodejs that was originaly used as api to crawl data using puppeteer from a website based on a schedule, now to check if there is a schedule i used a function that link to a model query and check if there are any schedule at the moment. It seems to work and i get the data, but when i was crawling the second article and the next there is always this error UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Request is already handled! and followed by UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). and it seems to take a lot of resource from the cpu and memory. So my question is, is there any blocking in my code or anything that could have done better.

            this is my server.js

            Install crawl

            To install crawl you must first have both Node.js and NPM installed, both of which are outside the scope of this tool. See the Node.js Website for details on how to install Node.js. Personaly I am found of Tim Caswell's excelent NVM tool for insalling and managing node.
