Issue/Introduction
As part of project initiative we have requirement to mask the parquet files. We are using ParquetViewer 2.exe to view the input files. However after masking we are unable to view the masked file in parquet viewer
Masked file not accessible in Parquetviewer.docx
Input and output files
Input file for masking : oracle__ID_2922536_5845070_00001_00000.parquet
Output file after masking : oracle__ID_2922536_5845070_00001_00000_masked.parquet
It's also been observed that the input file size is 87786 KB before masking and after masking the size of the file considerably reduced to 67911 KB. So we are suspecting the file got corrupted.
Environment
FDM 4.11.163
Cause
There was no issue with displaying the masked parquet files. The difference in the size of the files: extracted the SQL for create table I could see there is a mismatch in DDL between the input and masked file.
Resolution
Patch FastDataMasker-4.11.173.0.zip and later resolves this issue.
