SQLContext load. Filtering files

[Masf]

Hi.

I'd like to read Avro files using this library
https://github.com/databricks/spark-avro

I need to load several files from a folder, not all files. Is there some
functionality to filter the files to load?

And... Is is possible to know the name of the files loaded from a folder?

My problem is that I have a folder where an external process is inserting
files every X minutes and I need process these files once, and I can't
move, rename or copy the source files.


Thanks

Have a look at the spark streaming. You can make use of the ssc.fileStream.

Eg:

val avroStream = ssc.fileStream[AvroKey[GenericRecord], NullWritable,
  AvroKeyInputFormat[GenericRecord]](input)

You can also specify a filter function

as the second argument.

Thanks
Best Regards

Thanks Akhil, I will have a look.

I have a dude regarding to spark streaming and filestream. If spark
streaming crashs and while spark was down new files are created in input
folder, when spark streaming is launched again, how can I process these
files?

Thanks.
Regards.
Miguel.

If you have enabled checkpointing the spark will handle that for you.
