Hello,
sorry for my late answer.
You're right, what I'm doing is a one time query, not a structured
streaming. Probably it will be best to describe my use case:
I'd like to expose live data (via jdbc/odbc) residing in Kafka with the
power of spark's distributed sql engine. As jdbc server I use spark thrift
server.
Since timestamp pushdown is not possible :-(, this is a very cumbersome
task.
Let's say I want to inspect last 5 minutes of kafka. First I have to find
out offsetFrom per each partition that corresponds to now() - 5 minutes.
Then I can register a kafka table:
CREATE TABLE ticket_kafka_x USING kafka OPTIONS (kafka.bootstrap.servers
'server1,server2,...',
subscribe 'my_topic',
startingOffsets '{"my_topic" : {"0" : 48532124, "1" : 49029703, "2" :
49456213, "3" : 48400521}}');
Then I can issue queries against this table (Data in Kafka is stored in
Avro format but I've created custom genericUDF to deserialize the data).
select event.id as id, explode(event.picks) as picks from (
select from_avro(value) as event from ticket_kafka_x where timestamp >
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp() - 5 * 60, "-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
) limit 100;
Whats even more irritating after few minutes I have to re-create this table
to reflect the last 5 minutes interval, otherwise the query performance
would suffer from increasing data to filter.
Colleague of mine was able to make direct queries with timestamp pushdown
in latest Hive.
How difficult is it to implement this feature in spark, could you lead me
to code where I could have a look ?
Thank you,
