Export_vcf(): Invalid type for format field 'gvcf_info'

Hail Query & hailctl

Hi,

After reading a matrix table built with run_combiner(),

mt = hl.read_matrix_table(matrix_table)                                                                                                                                                                   
mt2=hl.experimental.densify(mt)                                                                                                                                                            
hl.export_vcf(mt2, bucket + 'jc/interval_wes.vcf.bgz')

the following error is raised:

hail.utils.java.FatalError: HailException: Invalid type for format field 'gvcf_info'. Found 'struct{BaseQRankSum: float64, DS: bool, ExcessHet: float64, InbreedingCoeff: float64, MLEAC: array<int32>, MLEAF: array<float64>, MQRankSum: float64, RAW_MQandDP: array<int32>, ReadPosRankSum: float64}'.

This is with Hail version: 0.2.49-b1db2c323727 .

Should gvcf_info be reformatted?
Thank you for your help with this,

You’re definitely hitting the rough edges in the combiner algorithm/docs, thanks for being an early user!

This error message is good in that there’s not a way to export structs in VCF format fields. The easiest solution is probably to drop that field before exporting (mt = mt.drop('gvcf_info')). If you want to regenerate a normal-looking info field (as a MatrixTable row field to be exported to VCF INFO fields) you can use the gnomad utilities, especially this one:

after installing the gnomad lib (with --pkgs gnomad in hailctl dataproc start):

from gnomad.utils.sparse_mt import get_as_info_expr
mt = mt.annotate_rows(info = get_as_info_expr(mt)).drop('gvcf_info')

Thank you, I’ll try that.

Maybe worth mentioning, I also needed to run run_combiner() with key_by_locus_and_alleles=True to get rid of a first export_vcf() error.

Ah, we’ve seen this before, I think it’s that these functions were written against a specific schema.

You can pass sum_agg_fields=(), I think.

I was able to export to vcf using

mt = mt.drop('gvcf_info')

However,

mt = mt.annotate_rows(info = get_as_info_expr(mt, sum_agg_fields=())).drop('gvcf_info')

failed with

This is your code, right? I think that needs to be sum_agg_fields, not int32_sum_agg_fields

Sorry, I had tried both sum_agg_fields=() and int32_sum_agg_fields=() . The former gave:

Ah – might need to pass both! I think the gnomad functions are pretty specialized to the current GATK schema.

10

with both it gave

Ah, didn’t read this code close enough – pass either [] or {}, instead of ().

12

unfortunately, with the added [] it gave

If that is hard to debug, I don’t want to waste your time! I got the vcf without the info field.

We only support certain types in export_vcf (not nested arrays, like AS_SB_TABLE here), so the solution is to either convert this field to something supported (like array) or drop it.
