Trino is a powerful, open-source distributed SQL query engine designed for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes. It allows users to query data from multiple sources using a single query, making it a versatile tool for data analysis and business intelligence.
When working with Trino, you might encounter the INVALID_CATALOG error. This error typically appears when you attempt to query a catalog that Trino cannot recognize or find. The error message might look something like this:
Query failed: INVALID_CATALOG: Catalog 'example_catalog' does not exist
The INVALID_CATALOG error occurs when the specified catalog in your query is not valid. This could be due to several reasons:
In Trino, a catalog is a configuration that defines how to connect to a data source. Each catalog corresponds to a specific connector, which is responsible for interacting with a particular type of data source, such as MySQL, Hive, or Kafka. For more information on catalogs, refer to the Trino Documentation.
To resolve the INVALID_CATALOG error, follow these steps:
Ensure that the catalog name used in your query is correct. Check for any typos or case sensitivity issues. Catalog names are case-sensitive in Trino.
Navigate to the Trino server's configuration directory, typically located at /etc/trino/catalog. Verify that a configuration file for the catalog exists and is correctly named (e.g., example_catalog.properties).
Open the catalog configuration file and ensure it contains the correct settings. A typical configuration file might look like this:
connector.name=hive
hive.metastore.uri=thrift://metastore-host:9083
Ensure all required properties are set and the values are correct. For detailed configuration options, refer to the Hive Connector Documentation.
After making changes to the configuration, restart the Trino server to apply the changes. Use the following command:
sudo systemctl restart trino
Or, if you are using a different service manager, adjust the command accordingly.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the INVALID_CATALOG error in Trino. Ensuring that your catalog configurations are correct and properly set up is crucial for seamless querying across your data sources.
