Not able to write Data in Parquet File using Spark Structured Streaming

Question

I have a Spark Structured Streaming:

val df = spark
      .readStream
      .format(\"kafka\")
      .option(\"kafka.bootstrap.servers\", \"localhost:9092\")
            


        

Answer 1

I resolved this issue. Actually when I tried to run the Structured Streaming on spark-shell, then it gave an error that endingOffsets are not valid in streaming queries, i.e.,:

val df = spark
      .readStream
      .format("kafka")
      .option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092")
      .option("startingOffsets", "earliest")
      .option("endingOffsets", "latest")
      .option("subscribe", "topic")
      .load()


java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ending offset not valid in streaming queries

  ... 48 elided

So, I removed endingOffsets from streaming query.

val df = spark
      .readStream
      .format("kafka")
      .option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092")
      .option("startingOffsets", "earliest")
      .option("subscribe", "topic")
      .load()

Then I tried to save streaming queries' result in Parquet files, during which I came to know that - checkpoint location must be specified, i.e.,:

val query = df
          .writeStream
          .outputMode("append")
          .format("parquet")
          .start("data")

org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: checkpointLocation must be specified either through option("checkpointLocation", ...) or SparkSession.conf.set("spark.sql.streaming.checkpointLocation", ...);
  at org.apache.spark.sql.streaming.StreamingQueryManager$$anonfun$3.apply(StreamingQueryManager.scala:207)

  at org.apache.spark.sql.streaming.DataStreamWriter.start(DataStreamWriter.scala:262)
  at org.apache.spark.sql.streaming.DataStreamWriter.start(DataStreamWriter.scala:206)
  ... 48 elided

So, I added checkPointLocation:

val query = df
          .writeStream
          .outputMode("append")
          .format("parquet")
          .option("checkpointLocation", "checkpoint")
          .start("data")

After doing these modifications, I was able to save streaming queries' results in Parquet files.

But, it is strange that when I ran the same code via sbt application, it didn't threw any errors, but when I ran the same code via spark-shell these errors were thrown. I think Apache Spark should throw these errors when run via sbt/maven app too. It is seems to be a bug to me !
