SQL Server 2019 – Polybase MongoDB

Hi Guys,
Following the release of new SQL Server 2019 and it’s new feature, Polybase MongoDB connector, I decided to give it a try.
I managed to set up the External table, following Microsoft tutorial:
However, I had few other issues on the way.
Our MongoDB is in Atlas and I just managed to create the external table connect to the cluster that I had enabled the BI connector. For the clusters without the BI connector enabled, I get the following error:
Msg 105082, Level 16, State 1, Line 23
105082;Generic ODBC error: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client: Invalid reply to listCollections command. (Error Code: 14) Additional error <2>: ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client: Invalid reply to listCollections command. (Error Code: 14), SqlState: HY000, NativeError: 110
Couldn’t find a workaround for that yet, so will move on with the cluster with BI Connector enabled.
So following Microsoft steps, after creating the External table, with no issues, I tried to Query that new table and then I get this error:
Msg 8680, Level 17, State 1, Line 2
Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor encountered an unexpected error during the processing of a remote query phase.
I found a post that suggests to query from sys.dm_exec_compute_node_errors. When I tried to do so, I got the same error message after a minute.
Checking the errorlog, I found this entry:
Failed stream scan. hr: -2113929215, resultcode : 1
Then I figured that dmv gets data from SELECT * FROM [DWDiagnostics].[dbo].[pdw_errors], which was accessible. I was then able to find the error message:
"Unable to find computer account in AD : NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"
I changed the user starting Polybase services to Network and then I managed to query MongoDB Atlas. However, still not able to connect to local MongoDB, getting on SQL:
Microsoft.SqlServer.DataWarehouse.Common.ErrorHandling.MppSqlException: 105082;Generic ODBC error: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110)
Error from MongoDB Client: No suitable servers found (`serverSelectionTryOnce` set): [connection closed calling ismaster on '192.168.54.78:27017']
(Error Code: 13053) Additional error <2>: ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client:

at Microsoft.SqlServer.DataWarehouse.Engine.Server.ServerInterface.OnExecuteRequest(IClientInterface client, String query, Boolean isInBatch, StatementExecutionContext executionContext, IDictionary`2 replacementInfos, String database, Statement pregeneratedStatement, SqlFrontEndRequest request)
On Mongodb logs I was getting:
 Error receiving request from client: SSLHandshakeFailed: SSLHandshakeFailed
So I had to generate a certificate on server hosting MongoDB and restart Mongo enabling SSL.
    cd /etc/ssl/
    openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out mongodb-cert.crt -keyout mongodb-cert.key
    cat mongodb-cert.key mongodb-cert.crt > mongodb.pem
Restart MongoDB using SSL:
    mongod –replSet rs0 –port 27017 –bind_ip localhost,192.168.54.79 –dbpath /srv/mongodb/rs0-1 –smallfiles –oplogSize 128 –ipv6 –sslMode requireSSL –sslPEMKeyFile /etc/ssl/mongodb.pem &
Finally was able to connect to MongoDB using SQL Server.
Any questions, I am happy to answer. 🙂
