Databricks: Structured Stream fails with TimeoutException - apache-spark

I want to create a structured stream in databricks with a kafka source.
I followed the instructions as described here. My script seems to start, however it fails with the first element of the stream. The stream itsellf works fine and produces results and works (in databricks) when I use confluent_kafka, thus there seems to be a different issue I am missing:
After the initial stream is processed, the script times out:
java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Stream Execution thread for stream [id = 80afdeed-9266-4db4-85fa-66ccf261aee4,
runId = b564c626-9c74-42a8-8066-f1f16c7ab53d] failed to stop within 36000 milliseconds (specified by spark.sql.streaming.stopTimeout). See the cause on what was being executed in the streaming query thread.`
WHAT I TRIED: looking at SO and finding this answer, to which I included
spark.conf.set("spark.sql.streaming.stopTimeout", 36000)
into my setup - which changed nothing.
Any input is highly appreciated!
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
from pyspark.sql.types import *
# Define a data schema
schema = StructType() \
.add('PARAMETERS_TEXTVALUES_070_VALUES', StringType())\
.add('ID', StringType())\
.add('PARAMETERS_TEXTVALUES_001_VALUES', StringType())\
.add('TIMESTAMP', TimestampType())
df = spark \
.readStream \
.format("kafka") \
.option("host", "stream.xxx.com") \
.option("port", 12345)\
.option('kafka.bootstrap.servers', 'stream.xxx.com:12345') \
.option('subscribe', 'stream_test.json') \
.option("startingOffset", "earliest") \
.load()
df_word = df.select(F.col('key').cast('string'),
F.from_json(F.col('value').cast('string'), schema).alias("parsed_value"))
df_word \
.writeStream \
.format("parquet") \
.option("path", "dbfs:/mnt/streamfolder/stream/") \
.option("checkpointLocation", "dbfs:/mnt/streamfolder/check/") \
.outputMode("append") \
.start()
my stream output data looks like this:
"PARAMETERS_TEXTVALUES_070_VALUES":'something'
"ID":"47575963333908"
"PARAMETERS_TEXTVALUES_001_VALUES":12345
"TIMESTAMP": "2020-10-22T15:06:42.507+02:00"
Furthermore, stream and check folders are filled with 0-b files, except for metadata, which includes the ìd from the error above.
Thanks and stay safe.

Spark Structured Streaming inconsistent output to multiple sinks

I am using spark structured streaming to read data from Kafka and apply some udf to the dataset. The code as below :
calludf = F.udf(lambda x: function_name(x))
dfraw = spark.readStream.format('kafka') \
.option('kafka.bootstrap.servers', KAFKA_CONSUMER_IP) \
.option('subscribe', topic_name) \
.load()
df = dfraw.withColumn("value", F.col('value').cast('string')).withColumn('value', calludf(F.col('value')))
ds = df.selectExpr("CAST(value AS STRING)") \
.writeStream \
.format('console') \
.option('truncate', False) \
.start()
dsf = df.selectExpr("CAST (value AS STRING)") \
.writeStream \
.format("kafka") \
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", KAFKA_CONSUMER_IP) \
.option("topic", topic_name_two) \
.option("checkpointLocation", checkpoint_location) \
.start()
ds.awaitTermination()
dsf.awaitTermination()
Now the problem is that I am getting 10 dataframes as input. 2 of them failed due to some issue with the data which is understandable. The console displays rest of the 8 processed dataframes BUT only 6 of those 8 processed dataframes are written to the Kafka topic using dsf steaming query. Even though I have added checkpoint location to it but it is still not working.
PS: Do let me know if you have any suggestion regarding the code as well. I am new to spark structured streaming so maybe there is something wrong with the way I am doing it.

How to make Spark streams execute sequentially

Issue
I have a job that executes two streams in total but I want the last one to start after the first stream has finished since the first stream saves events from the readstream in a DeltaTable that serve as input for the second stream. The problem is that what is being added in the first stream is not available in the second stream, in the current notebook run, because they start simultaneously.
Is there a way to enforce the order while running it from the same notebook?
I've tried the awaitTermination function but discovered this does not solve my problem. Some pseudocode:
def main():
# Read eventhub
metricbeat_df = spark \
.readStream \
.format("eventhubs") \
.options(**eh_conf) \
.load()
# Save raw events
metricbeat_df.writeStream \
.trigger({"once": True}) \
.format("delta") \
.partitionBy("year", "month", "day") \
.outputMode("append") \
.option("checkpointLocation", "dbfs:/...") \
.queryName("query1") \
.table("my_db.raw_events")
# Parse events
metricbeat_df = spark.readStream \
.format("delta") \
.option("ignoreDeletes", True) \
.table("my_db.raw_events")
# *Do some transformations here*
metricbeat_df.writeStream \
.trigger({"once": True}) \
.format("delta") \
.partitionBy("year", "month", "day") \
.outputMode("append") \
.option("checkpointLocation", "dbfs:/...") \
.queryName("query2") \
.table("my_db.joined_bronze_events")
TLDR
To summarize the issue: when I run the code above, query1 and query2 start at the same time which causes that my_db.joined_bronze_events is a bit behind my_db.raw_events because what is being added in query1 is not available in query2 in the current run (it will be in the next run of course).
Is there a way to enforce that query2 will not start until query1 has finished while still running it in the same notebook?
As you are using the option Trigger.once, you can make use of the processAllAvailable method in your StreamingQuery:
def main():
# Read eventhub
# note that I have changed the variable name to metricbeat_df1
metricbeat_df1 = spark \
.readStream \
.format("eventhubs") \
.options(**eh_conf) \
.load()
# Save raw events
metricbeat_df1.writeStream \
.trigger({"once": True}) \
.format("delta") \
.partitionBy("year", "month", "day") \
.outputMode("append") \
.option("checkpointLocation", "dbfs:/...") \
.queryName("query1") \
.table("my_db.raw_events") \
.processAllAvailable()
# Parse events
# note that I have changed the variable name to metricbeat_df2
metricbeat_df2 = spark.readStream \
.format("delta") \
.option("ignoreDeletes", True) \
.table("my_db.raw_events")
# *Do some transformations here*
metricbeat_df2.writeStream \
.trigger({"once": True}) \
.format("delta") \
.partitionBy("year", "month", "day") \
.outputMode("append") \
.option("checkpointLocation", "dbfs:/...") \
.queryName("query2") \
.table("my_db.joined_bronze_events") \
.processAllAvailable()
Note, that I have changed the dataframe names as they should not be the same for both streaming queries.
The method processAllAvailable is described as:
"Blocks until all available data in the source has been processed and committed to the sink. This method is intended for testing. Note that in the case of continually arriving data, this method may block forever. Additionally, this method is only guaranteed to block until data that has been synchronously appended data to a org.apache.spark.sql.execution.streaming.Source prior to invocation. (i.e. getOffset must immediately reflect the addition)."

How do you call multiple writeStream operations within a single Spark Job?

I am trying to write a Spark Structured Streaming job that reads from a Kafka topic and writes to separate paths (after performing some transformations) via the writeStream operation. However, when I run the following code, only the first writeStream gets executed and the second is getting ignored.
df = spark \
.readStream \
.format("kafka") \
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "host1:port1,host2:port2") \
.option("subscribe", "topic1") \
.load()
write_one = df.writeStream \
.foreachBatch(lambda x, y: transform_and_write_to_zone_one(x,y)) \
.start() \
.awaitTermination()
// transform df to df2
write_two = df2.writeStream \
.foreachBatch(lambda x, y: transform_and_write_to_zone_two(x,y)) \
.start() \
.awaitTermination()
I initially thought that my issue was related to this post, however, after changing my code to the following:
df = spark \
.readStream \
.format("kafka") \
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "host1:port1,host2:port2") \
.option("subscribe", "topic1") \
.load()
write_one = df.writeStream \
.foreachBatch(lambda x, y: transform_and_write_to_zone_one(x,y)) \
.start()
// transform df to df2
write_two = df2.writeStream \
.foreachBatch(lambda x, y: transform_and_write_to_zone_two(x,y)) \
.start()
write_one.awaitTermination()
write_two.awaitTermination()
I received the following error:
org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Queries with streaming sources must be executed with writeStream.start();;
I am not sure why the additional code between start() and awaitTermination() would cause the error above (but I think this is probably a separate issue that is referenced in this answer to the same post above). What is the correct way to call multiple writeStream operations within the same job? Would it be best to have both of the writes within the function that is invoked by foreachBatch or is there are a better way to achieve this?
Spark documentation says that in case you need perform writing into multiple locations you need to use foreachBatch method.
Your code should look something like:
streamingDF.writeStream.foreachBatch { (batchDF: DataFrame, batchId: Long) =>
batchDF.persist()
batchDF.write.format(...).save(...) // location 1
batchDF.write.format(...).save(...) // location 2
batchDF.unpersist()
}
Note: persist in needed in order to prevent recomputations.
You can check more: http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/structured-streaming-programming-guide.html#using-foreach-and-foreachbatch
You just don't call awaiTermination() for each of your stream queries, but just one through spark session, eg:
spark.streams.awaitAnyTermination()

Exception has occurred: pyspark.sql.utils.AnalysisException 'Queries with streaming sources must be executed with writeStream.start();;\nkafka'

at the code
if not df.head(1).isEmpty:
I got exception,
Exception has occurred: pyspark.sql.utils.AnalysisException 'Queries with streaming sources must be executed with writeStream.start();;\nkafka'
I do not know how to use if in streaming data.
when I use jupyter, to execute each line, the code is well, and I can got my result. but use .py it's not good.
my perpose is this: I want use streaming to get data from kafka every one second, then I transform every batch steaming data(one batch means the data one second I get) to pandas dataframe, and then I use pandas function to do something to the data, finally I send the result to other kafka topic.
Please help me, and forgive my pool english, Thanks a lot.

if not df.head(1).isEmpty:
alertQuery = ds \

.queryName("qalerts")\
.format("memory")\
.start()
alerts = spark.sql("select * from qalerts")
pdAlerts = alerts.toPandas()
a = pdAlerts['value'].tolist()
d = []
for i in a:
x = json.loads(i)
d.append(x)
df = pd.DataFrame(d)
print(df)
ds = df['jobID'].unique().tolist()
dics = {}
for source in ds:
ids = df.loc[df['jobID'] == source, 'id'].tolist()
dics[source]=ids
print(dics)
query = ds \
.writeStream \
.queryName("tableName") \
.format("console") \
.start()
query.awaitTermination()
Remove if not df.head(1).isEmpty: and you should be fine.
The reason for the exception is simple, i.e. a streaming query is a structured query that never ends and is continually executed. It is simply not possible to look at a single element since there is no "single element", but (possibly) thousands of elements and it'd be hard to tell when exactly you'd like to look under the covers and see just a single element.

Pyspark Kafka structured streaming: error while writing out

I am able to read a stream from a Kafka topic and write the (transformed) data back to another Kafka topic in two different steps in PySpark. The code to do that is as follows:
# Define Stream:
df = spark \
.readStream \
.format("kafka") \
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092") \
.option("subscribe", "instream") \
.load()
# Transform
matchdata = df.select(from_json(F.col("value").cast("string"),schema).alias("value"))\
.select(F.col('value').cast("string"))
# Stream the data, from a Kafka topic to a Spark in-memory table
query = matchdata \
.writeStream \
.format("memory") \
.queryName("PositionTable") \
.outputMode("append") \
.start()
query.awaitTermination(5)
# Create a new dataframe after stream completes:
tmp_df=spark.sql("select * from PositionTable")
# Write data to a different Kafka topic
tmp_df \
.write \
.format("kafka") \
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092") \
.option("topic", "outstream") \
.save()
The code above works as expected: the data in Kafka topic "instream" is read in PySpark, and then PySpark can write out data to Kafka topic "outstream".
However, I would like to read the stream in and write the transformed data back out immediately (the stream will be unbounded and we would like insights immediately as the data rolls in). Following the documentation, I replaced the query above with the following:
query = matchdata \
.writeStream \
.format("kafka") \
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092") \
.option("topic", "outstream") \
.option("checkpointLocation", "/path/to/HDFS/dir") \
.start()
This does not appear to work.
There is no error message, so I do not know what is wrong. I've also tried windowing and aggregating within windows, but that also does not work. Any advice will be appreciated!
Ok, I found the problem. The main reason was that the subdirectory "path/to/HDFS/dir" has to exist. After creating that directory the code ran as expected. It would have been nice if an error message stated something along those lines.
