Hello,
I have an application in Java that uses Spark Streaming 1.2.1 in the
following manner:
- Listen to the input directory.
- If a new file is copied to that input directory process it.
- Process: contact a RESTful web service (running also locally and
responsive), send the contents of the file, receive the response from the
web service, write the results as a new file into the output directory
- batch interval : 30 seconds
- checkpoint interval: 150 seconds
When I test the application locally with 1 or 2 files, it works perfectly
fine as expected. I run it like:
spark-submit --class myClass --verbose --master local[4]
--deploy-mode client myApp.jar /in file:///out
But then I've realized something strange when I copied 20 files to the
INPUT directory: Spark Streaming detects all of the files, but it ends up
processing *only 16 files*. And the remaining 4 are not processed at all.
I've tried it with 19, 18, and then 17 files. Same result, only 16 files
end up in the output directory.
Then I've tried it by copying 16 files at once to the input directory, and
it can process all of the 16 files. That's why I call it magic number 16.
When I mean it detects all of the files, I mean that in the logs I see the
following lines when I copy 17 files:

In other words it says "Total input paths to process :1" for 17 times. And
when I copy 20 files, it says that 20 times.
But it always ends up processing 16 files at once and the remaining ones
are not processed at all.
However, if I first copy 16 files to the input directory, wait for Spark
Streaming application to process them (by checking the output directory and
seeing that 16 files have been created properly), and then copy the 4 more
files, those 4 files are also processed!
So now I'm in a weird situation that I have to copy 16 files at maximum at
once, wait them to be processed, and only after that copy again 16 files at
max, ... otherwise I lose the extra files, in the sense that they are not
processed. This is not acceptable in my use-case.
I've also checked the parameter
spark.streaming.receiver.maxRate
and it is INFINITE by default, I've tried setting it to 10 for example, and
nothing has changed.
Any ideas what might be causing this situation, having a magic number of 16
files at once?
