Re: Need guidelines in Spark Streaming and Kafka integration

[Karim, Md. Rezaul]

Hi Tariq and Jon,

At first thanks for quick response. I really appreciate that.

Well, I would like to start from the very begging of using Kafka with
Spark. For example, in the Spark distribution, I found an example using
Kafka with Spark streaming that demonstrates a Direct Kafka Word Count
example. In that example, I found the main class
*JavaDirectKafkaWordCount.java* under the
spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7\examples\src\main\java\org\apache\spark\examples\streaming
directory) that contains a code segment as follows:


---*-
String brokers = args[0];
String topics = args[1];

// Create context with a 2 seconds batch interval
SparkConf sparkConf = new
SparkConf().setAppName("JavaDirectKafkaWordCount").setMaster("local[*]");
JavaStreamingContext jssc = new JavaStreamingContext(sparkConf,
Durations.seconds(20));

Set topicsSet = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(topics.split(",")));
Map kafkaParams = new HashMap<>();
kafkaParams.put("metadata.broker.list", brokers);
---*-

In this code block, the confusing part is setting the values of two command
line arguments (i.e., *brokers *and *topics*). I tried to set them as
follows:

String brokers = "localhost:8890,localhost:8892";
String topics = " topic1,topic2";

However, I know this is not the right way to do so. But there has to have
the correct ways of setting the value of the brokers and topics.

Now, the thing is that I need help how to set/configure these two
parameters so that I can run this hello world like example successfully.
Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

Re: Need guidelines in Spark Streaming and Kafka integration

[Jon Gregg]

Since you're completely new to Kafka, I would start with the Kafka docs (
https://kafka.apache.org/documentation).  You should be able to get through
the Getting Started part easily and there are some examples for setting up
a basic Kafka server.

You don't need Kafka to start working with Spark Streaming (there are
examples online to pull directly from Twitter, for example).  But at a high
level if you're sending data from one server to another, it can be
beneficial to send the messages to a distributed queue first for durable
storage (so data doesn't get lost in transmission) and other benefits.

Hi Karim,

Are you looking for something specific? Some information about your usecase
would be really  helpful in order to answer your question.

Need guidelines in Spark Streaming and Kafka integration

[Karim, Md. Rezaul]

Hi All,

I am completely new with Kafka. I was wondering if somebody could provide
me some guidelines on how to develop real-time streaming applications using
Spark Streaming API with Kafka.

I am aware the Spark Streaming  and Kafka integration [1]. However, a real
life example should be better to start?
