I am aware of your point that global don't work in a distributed environment. With regard to your other point, these are two different topics with their own streams. The point of second stream is to set the status to false, so it can gracefully shutdown the main stream (the one called "md") here
For example, the second stream has this row +------------------------------------+-------------------+-----+------+ |uuid |timeissued |queue|status| +------------------------------------+-------------------+-----+------+ |ac74d419-58aa-4879-945d-a2a41bb64873|2023-03-04 21:29:18|md |true | +------------------------------------+-------------------+-----+------+ so every 30 seconds, it checks the status and if staus = false, it shuts down the main stream gracefully. It works ok def sendToControl(dfnewtopic, batchId2): if(len(dfnewtopic.take(1))) > 0: print(f"""From sendToControl, newtopic batchId is {batchId2}""") dfnewtopic.show(100,False) queue = dfnewtopic.first()[2] status = dfnewtopic.first()[3] print(f"""testing queue is {queue}, and status is {status}""") if((queue == config['MDVariables']['topic']) & (status == 'false')): spark_session = s.spark_session(config['common']['appName']) active = spark_session.streams.active for e in active: name = e.name if(name == config['MDVariables']['topic']): print(f"""\n==> Request terminating streaming process for topic {name} at {datetime.now()}\n """) e.stop() else: print("DataFrame newtopic is empty") and so when status set to false in the second it does as below >From sendToControl, newtopic batchId is 93 +------------------------------------+-------------------+-----+------+ |uuid |timeissued |queue|status| +------------------------------------+-------------------+-----+------+ |c4736bc7-bee7-4dce-b67a-3b1d674b243a|2023-03-04 21:36:52|md |false | +------------------------------------+-------------------+-----+------+ *testing queue is md, and status is false* ==> Request terminating streaming process for topic md at 2023-03-04 21:36:55.590162 and shuts down I want to state this print(f"""\n==> Request terminating streaming process for topic {name} and batch {BatchId for md} at {datetime.now()}\n """) That {BatchId for md} should come from this one def sendToSink(df, batchId): if(len(df.take(1))) > 0: print(f"""From sendToSink, md, batchId is {batchId}, at {datetime.now()} """) #df.show(100,False) df. persist() # write to BigQuery batch table #s.writeTableToBQ(df, "append", config['MDVariables']['targetDataset'],config['MDVariables']['targetTable']) df.unpersist() #print(f"""wrote to DB""") batchidMD = batchId print(batchidMD) else: print("DataFrame md is empty") I trust I explained it adequately cheers view my Linkedin profile <https://www.linkedin.com/in/mich-talebzadeh-ph-d-5205b2/> https://en.everybodywiki.com/Mich_Talebzadeh *Disclaimer:* Use it at your own risk.
