Spark DStream from Kafka always starts at beginning - apache-spark

Question

Look at my last comment of the accepted answer for the solution
I configured a DStream like so:
val kafkaParams = Map[String, Object](
"bootstrap.servers" -> "kafka1.example.com:9092",
"key.deserializer" -> classOf[StringDeserializer],
"value.deserializer" -> classOf[KafkaAvroDeserializer],
"group.id" -> "mygroup",
"specific.avro.reader" -> true,
"schema.registry.url" -> "http://schema.example.com:8081"
)
val stream = KafkaUtils.createDirectStream(
ssc,
PreferConsistent,
Subscribe[String, DataFile](topics, kafkaParams)
)
While this works and I get the DataFiles as expected, when I stop and re-run the job, it always starts at the beginning of the topic. How can I achieve that it continues where it last went off?

As in the answer by Bhima Rao Gogineni, I changed my configuration like this:
val consumerParams =
Map("bootstrap.servers" -> bootstrapServerString,
"schema.registry.url" -> schemaRegistryUri.toString,
"specific.avro.reader" -> "true",
"group.id" -> "measuring-data-files",
"key.deserializer" -> classOf[StringDeserializer],
"value.deserializer" -> classOf[KafkaAvroDeserializer],
"enable.auto.commit" -> (false: JavaBool),
"auto.offset.reset" -> "earliest")
And I set up the stream:
val stream = KafkaUtils.
createDirectStream(ssc,
LocationStrategies.PreferConsistent,
ConsumerStrategies.Subscribe[String, DataFile](List(inTopic), consumerParams))
And then I process it:
stream.
foreachRDD { rdd =>
... // Do stuff with the RDD - transform, produce to other topic etc.
// Commit the offsets
log.info("Committing the offsets")
val offsetRanges = rdd.asInstanceOf[HasOffsetRanges].offsetRanges
stream.asInstanceOf[CanCommitOffsets].commitAsync(offsetRanges)
}
But it still always starts from the beginning when re-running.
Here is an excerpt from my Kafka log:

I made saving the offsets more verbose like this:
// Commit the offsets
log.info("Committing the offsets")
val offsetRanges = rdd.asInstanceOf[HasOffsetRanges].offsetRanges
if(offsetRanges.isEmpty) {
log.info("Offset ranges is empty...")
} else {
log.info("# offset ranges: %d" format offsetRanges.length)
}
object cb extends OffsetCommitCallback {
def onComplete(offsets: util.Map[TopicPartition, OffsetAndMetadata],
exception: Exception): Unit =
if(exception != null) {
log.info("Commit FAILED")
log.error(exception.getMessage, exception)
} else {
log.info("Commit SUCCEEDED - count: %d" format offsets.size())
offsets.
asScala.
foreach {
case (p, omd) =>
log.info("partition = %d; topic = %s; offset = %d; metadata = %s".
format(p.partition(), p.topic(), omd.offset(), omd.metadata()))
}
}
}
stream.asInstanceOf[CanCommitOffsets].commitAsync(offsetRanges, cb)
And I get this exception:
2018-07-04 10:14:00 ERROR DumpTask$:136 - Commit cannot be completed since the group has already rebalanced and assigned the partitions to another member. This means that the time between subsequent calls to poll() was longer than the configured session.timeout.ms, which typically implies that the poll loop is spending too much time message processing. You can address this either by increasing the session timeout or by reducing the maximum size of batches returned in poll() with max.poll.records.

How should I solve this?

Answer 1

With new Spark Kafka Connect API, We can try async commits.
Read the offsets and commit once done with the process.
Kafka config for the same:
enable.auto.commit=false
auto.offset.reset=earliest or auto.offset.reset=latest --> this config takes effect if there is no last committed offset available in Kafka topic then it will read the offsets from start or end based this config.
stream.foreachRDD { rdd =>
val offsetRanges = rdd.asInstanceOf[HasOffsetRanges].offsetRanges
// some time later, after outputs have completed
stream.asInstanceOf[CanCommitOffsets].commitAsync(offsetRanges)
}

Spark provides two APIs to read messages from kafka.
From Spark documentation
Approach 1: Receiver-based Approach
This approach uses a Receiver to receive the data. The Receiver is implemented using the Kafka
high-level consumer API. As with all receivers, the data received from
Kafka through a Receiver is stored in Spark executors, and then jobs
launched by Spark Streaming processes the data.
Approach 2: Direct Approach (No Receivers)
This new receiver-less “direct” approach has been introduced in Spark
1.3 to ensure stronger end-to-end guarantees. Instead of using receivers to receive data, this approach periodically queries Kafka
for the latest offsets in each topic+partition, and accordingly
defines the offset ranges to process in each batch. When the jobs to
process the data are launched, Kafka’s simple consumer API is used to
read the defined ranges of offsets from Kafka (similar to read files
from a file system).
Note that one disadvantage of this approach is
that it does not update offsets in Zookeeper, hence Zookeeper-based
Kafka monitoring tools will not show progress. However, you can access
the offsets processed by this approach in each batch and update
Zookeeper yourself
In your case you are using Direct Approach, so you need to handle your message-offset yourself and specify the offset range from where you want to read the messages. Or if you want zookeeper to take care of your message-offset then you can use Receiver-based Approach by using KafkaUtils.createStream() API.
You can find more on how to handle kafka offset in spark documentation.
