How to shutdown the topic doing work for the message being processed, wait for it to complete and shutdown the streaming process for a given topic. I thought about this and looked at options. Using sensors to implement this like airflow would be expensive as for example reading a file from object storage or from an underlying database would have incurred additional I/O overheads through continuous polling. So the design had to be incorporated into the streaming process itself. What I came up with was an addition of a control topic which keeps running triggered every 2 seconds say and is in json format with the following structure root |-- newtopic_value: struct (nullable = true) | |-- uuid: string (nullable = true) | |-- timeissued: timestamp (nullable = true) | |-- queue: string (nullable = true) | |-- status: string (nullable = true) In above the queue refers to the business topic) and status is set to 'true', meaning BAU. This control topic streaming can be restarted anytime, and status can be set to false if we want to stop the streaming queue for a given business topic ac7d0b2e-dc71-4b3f-a17a-500cd9d38efe {"uuid":"ac7d0b2e-dc71-4b3f-a17a-500cd9d38efe", "timeissued":"2021-04-23T08:54:06", "queue":"md", "status":"true"} 64a8321c-1593-428b-ae65-89e45ddf0640 {"uuid":"64a8321c-1593-428b-ae65-89e45ddf0640", "timeissued":"2021-04-23T09:49:37", "queue":"md", "status":"false"} So how can I stop the business queue when the current business topic message has been processed? Let us say the source is sending data for a business topic every 30 seconds. Our control topic sends a one liner as above every 2 seconds. In your writestream add the following line to be able to identify topic name trigger(processingTime='30 seconds'). \ *queryName('md'). *\ Next the controlling topic (called newtopic) has the following foreachBatch(*sendToControl*). \ trigger(processingTime='2 seconds'). \ queryName('newtopic'). \ That method sendToControl does what is needed def sendToControl(dfnewtopic, batchId): if(len(dfnewtopic.take(1))) > 0: #print(f"""newtopic batchId is {batchId}""") #dfnewtopic.show(10,False) queue = dfnewtopic.select(col("queue")).collect()[0][0] status = dfnewtopic.select(col("status")).collect()[0][0] if((queue == 'md')) & (status == 'false')): spark_session = s.spark_session(config['common']['appName']) active = spark_session.streams.active for e in active: #print(e) name = e.name if(name == 'md'): print(f"""Terminating streaming process {name}""") e.stop() else: print("DataFrame newtopic is empty") This seems to work as I checked it to ensure that in this case data was written and saved to the target sink (BigQuery table). It will wait until data is written completely meaning the current streaming message is processed and there is a latency there. This is the output Terminating streaming process md wrote to DB ## this is the flag I added to ensure the current micro-bath was completed 2021-04-23 09:59:18,029 ERROR streaming.MicroBatchExecution: Query md [id = 6bbccbfe-e770-4fb0-b83d-0dedd0ee571b, runId = 2ae55673-6bc2-4dbe-af60-9fdc0447bff5] terminated with error The various termination processes are described in Structured Streaming Programming Guide - Spark 3.1.1 Documentation (apache.org) <http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/structured-streaming-programming-guide.html#managing-streaming-queries> This is the idea I came up with which allows ending the streaming process with least cost.
