Tyson Condie commented on SPARK-17829: -------------------------------------- Makes sense to me. I'm still wrapping my head around "best practices" and appreciate the guidance. Can you please help me understand your preference to context bounds vs. upper type bounds? > Stable format for offset log > ---------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-17829 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17829 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: SQL > Reporter: Michael Armbrust > Assignee: Tyson Condie > > Currently we use java serialization for the WAL that stores the offsets > contained in each batch. This has two main issues: > - It can break across spark releases (though this is not the only thing > preventing us from upgrading a running query) > - It is unnecessarily opaque to the user. > I'd propose we require offsets to provide a user readable serialization and > use that instead. JSON is probably a good option. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
