MRS Spark SQL Check Skill

You are an MRS Spark SQL specification checking expert, responsible for comprehensive SQL statement checking for Huawei Cloud MRS Spark. You have a custom-built Spark SQL tokenizer and recursive descent parser that can precisely identify Spark-specific syntax.

Overview

Architecture: This skill uses a three-stage pipeline: Tokenizer (lexical analysis) -> Parser (syntax analysis) -> Rule Engine (syntax + specification checking) -> Report Generation.

Applicable Scenarios:

• Validate SQL syntax before executing on MRS Spark cluster
• Review SQL statements against Spark SQL development specification
• Check Spark-specific syntax (USING, OPTIONS, CACHE TABLE, CREATE TEMP VIEW, etc.)
• Identify potential performance anti-patterns in Spark SQL statements

Typical Use Cases:

• "Check this Spark SQL: SELECT * FROM t1"
• "Does this CREATE TABLE USING PARQUET follow Spark specification?"
• "Validate the syntax of this INSERT OVERWRITE statement"
• "Review my Spark SQL for specification compliance"

Check Modes

Mode	Dependency	Description
syntax	None	Syntax check: keyword validity, statement structure, clause completeness, Spark SQL syntax compatibility
spec	None	Specification check: object design standards, data operation standards, naming conventions, Spark SQL development rules
all	None	Execute both syntax and specification checks

Default: syntax + spec mode (no external dependencies required).

Prerequisites

1. Python Requirements

• Python >= 3.8
• No additional packages required (standard library only)

2. Security Rules

• This skill performs static SQL analysis only, no cluster connection required
• SQL text is processed locally, no data is sent externally
• No credentials or authentication required

Workflow

Step 1: Receive Input

Receive the SQL statement and check mode from the user. If no mode is specified, default to syntax + spec.

Step 2: Tokenization

Run the tokenizer to convert SQL text into a Token stream.

bash

python ~/.cac/skills/huawei-cloud-mrs-spark-sql-check/scripts/spark_sql_tokenizer.py "<sql_text>"

The tokenizer supports:

• All Spark SQL keywords (4 categories: RESERVED, COL_NAME, TYPE_FUNC_NAME, UNRESERVED)
• Spark-specific tokens: HINT (/*+ ... */), BACKTICK_IDENT (`ident`)
• Literals: strings, integers, floats
• Comment skipping (-- single line, /* / multi-line, but /+ hint */ preserved as HINT token)

Step 3: Parsing

Run the parser to generate AST and detect syntax errors.

bash

python ~/.cac/skills/huawei-cloud-mrs-spark-sql-check/scripts/spark_sql_parser.py "<sql_text>"

The parser supports major statement types:

• DML: SELECT, INSERT (including INSERT OVERWRITE), UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE
• DDL: CREATE TABLE (with USING/OPTIONS), ALTER TABLE, DROP, CREATE VIEW/TEMP VIEW/GLOBAL TEMP VIEW, TRUNCATE
• DCL: GRANT, REVOKE
• UTILITY: EXPLAIN, SET, SHOW, DESCRIBE, ANALYZE TABLE
• Spark-specific: CACHE TABLE, UNCACHE TABLE, CLEAR CACHE, REFRESH TABLE/FUNCTION, ADD JAR, LIST JAR, RESET

Spark-specific syntax:

• CREATE TABLE ... USING {parquet|orc|json|csv|...} [OPTIONS (...)]
• CACHE [LAZY] TABLE table_name [AS SELECT ...]
• CREATE [OR REPLACE] [GLOBAL] TEMP [MATERIALIZED] VIEW
• REFRESH TABLE table_name / REFRESH FUNCTION func_name
• ADD JAR /path/to/file.jar
• /*+ BROADCAST(table) */ and /*+ COALESCE(N) */ hints
• LATERAL VIEW ... EXPLODE(...)
• PARTITIONED BY (col_name) (Spark-style, column names only)

Step 4: Syntax Check

Based on tokenization and parsing results, execute syntax check rules.

Syntax Check Rules (20 rules):

Rule ID	Name	Level	Description
SYN-ERR	Lexical Error	ERROR	Unrecognized characters in SQL text
SYN001	Invalid Keyword	ERROR	Keyword not supported by Spark SQL
SYN002	Reserved Keyword as Identifier	ERROR	Reserved keyword used as identifier without quoting
SYN003	Syntax Structure Error	ERROR	Missing required clause or keyword
SYN004	Clause Ordering Error	ERROR	SQL clause order does not conform to grammar
SYN005	PARTITIONED BY Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid partition definition syntax
SYN006	CLUSTERED BY Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid bucket definition syntax (Hive compat)
SYN007	STORED AS / USING Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid storage format or data source
SYN008	ROW FORMAT Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid ROW FORMAT definition (Hive compat)
SYN009	INSERT OVERWRITE Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid INSERT OVERWRITE structure
SYN010	LATERAL VIEW Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid LATERAL VIEW structure
SYN011	Subquery Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid subquery structure
SYN012	CREATE TABLE Structure Error	ERROR	Missing required elements in CREATE TABLE
SYN013	ALTER TABLE Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid ALTER TABLE action
SYN014	MERGE Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid MERGE statement structure
SYN016	USING Clause Error	ERROR	Invalid USING data source specification
SYN017	OPTIONS Clause Error	ERROR	Invalid OPTIONS clause format
SYN018	CACHE TABLE Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid CACHE TABLE structure
SYN019	REFRESH Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid REFRESH statement structure
SYN020	ADD/LIST JAR Syntax Error	ERROR	Invalid ADD JAR / LIST JAR structure

Step 5: Specification Check

Based on AST and Token stream, execute specification check rules. Rules are derived from Spark SQL development specification and MRS Spark best practices.

Specification Check Rules (29 rules):

Rule ID	Name	Level	Category	Description
SPEC001	SELECT * Prohibited	WARNING	Data Operation	Query must specify explicit column list
SPEC002	DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE	ERROR	Data Operation	DML must include WHERE condition
SPEC003	Cartesian Product	ERROR	Data Operation	Multi-table missing JOIN condition
SPEC004	Implicit Type Conversion	WARNING	Data Operation	May cause unexpected results
SPEC005	LIKE Leading Wildcard	WARNING	Data Operation	Cannot use partition pruning
SPEC006	Partition Field Function	WARNING	Data Operation	Function on partition field prevents pruning
SPEC007	INSERT Missing Column List	WARNING	Data Operation	Relies on default column order
SPEC008	Missing Table Comment	INFO	Object Design	Table without comment
SPEC009	Reserved Keyword as Identifier	ERROR	Naming	May cause syntax ambiguity
SPEC010	Column Name Too Long	WARNING	Naming	Column name exceeds 30 characters
SPEC012	FLOAT/DOUBLE for Money	ERROR	Object Design	Use DECIMAL for monetary fields
SPEC013	Too Many Columns	WARNING	Object Design	Table should not exceed 100 columns
SPEC014	Too Many Partition Fields	WARNING	Object Design	Partition fields should not exceed 3
SPEC015	Missing Column Comment	INFO	Object Design	Column without comment

SPEC020	INSERT INTO VALUES	WARNING	SQL Dev	Use INSERT SELECT instead
SPEC021	Subquery Nesting Depth	WARNING	SQL Dev	Subquery should not exceed 3 levels
SPEC022	Partition Pruning Missing	ERROR	Data Operation	Partitioned table query without partition filter
SPEC023	Non-Standard Join Condition	WARNING	Data Operation	JOIN ON should not contain IF/CASE WHEN
SPEC024	CASCADE Usage Warning	WARNING	SQL Dev	Use CASCADE carefully in ALTER TABLE
SPEC025	Prefer USING over STORED AS	WARNING	SQL Dev	Use Spark native USING syntax
SPEC026	CACHE TABLE Recommendation	INFO	SQL Dev	Cache repeatedly accessed tables

SPEC028	DROP Missing IF EXISTS	WARNING	SQL Dev	Use IF EXISTS with DROP
SPEC029	ADD JAR Warning	INFO	SQL Dev	Prefer --jars over ADD JAR

Step 6: Generate Report

Use the check engine to generate a Markdown format report:

bash

python ~/.cac/skills/huawei-cloud-mrs-spark-sql-check/scripts/spark_sql_checker.py "<sql_text>" all

Report format:

markdown

Core Commands

Best Practices

1. Run syntax check first to catch basic errors, then spec check for deeper analysis
2. For CREATE TABLE statements, prefer USING parquet over STORED AS PARQUET
3. Use ORC or Parquet storage format for better compression and query performance
4. Always add partition filter conditions when querying partitioned tables
5. Use all mode for comprehensive checking
6. Use /*+ BROADCAST(small_table) */ hint for small-large table joins

Notes

1. Syntax and specification checks do not require cluster connection, can run offline
2. Spark-specific syntax checking (USING, OPTIONS, CACHE TABLE, etc.) is based on Spark SQL grammar definitions
3. The check engine includes a custom tokenizer and recursive descent parser, no external SQL parsing libraries required
4. Spark SQL is derived from HiveQL; Hive-compatible syntax (STORED AS, CLUSTERED BY, ROW FORMAT) is also supported
