Re: Writing streaming data to cassandra creates duplicates
Ideally the 2 messages read from kafka must differ on some parameter
atleast, or else they are logically same
As a solution to your problem, if the message content is same, u cud create
a new field UUID, which might play the role of partition key while
inserting the 2 messages in Cassandra
Msg1 - UUID1, GAURAV, 100
Msg2 - UUID2, PRIYA, 200
Msg3 - UUID1, GAURAV, 100
Now when inserting in Cassandra 3 different rows would be created, pls
note, that even though Msg1, Msg3 have same content, they are inserted as 2
separate rows in Cassandra, since they differ on UUID,which is partition
key in my column family

Re: Writing streaming data to cassandra creates duplicates
(removing dev from the to: as not relevant)
it would be good to see some sample data and the cassandra schema to have a
more concrete idea of the problem space.
Some thoughts: reduceByKey could still be used to 'pick' one element.
example of arbitrarily choosing the first one: reduceByKey{case (e1,e2) =>
e1}
The question to be answered is: what should happen to the multiple values
that arrive for 1 key?
And why are they creating duplicates in cassandra? if they have the same
key, they will result in an overwrite (that's not desirable due to
tombstones anyway)

Hi TD,
Thanks for the info. I have the scenario like this.
I am reading the data from kafka topic. Let's say kafka has 3
partitions for the topic. In my streaming application, I would configure 3
receivers with 1 thread each such that they would receive 3 dstreams (from
3 partitions of kafka topic) and also I implement partitioner. Now there is
a possibility of receiving messages with same primary key twice or more,
one is at the time message is created and other times if there is an update
to any fields for same message.
If two messages M1 and M2 with same primary key are read by 2 receivers
then even the partitioner in spark would still end up in parallel
processing as there are altogether in different dstreams. How do we address
in this situation ?
Thanks,
Padma Ch

Re: Writing streaming data to cassandra creates duplicates
Hi, Just my two cents. I understand your problem is that your problem is that you have messages with the same key in two different dstreams. What I would do would be making a union of all the dstreams with StreamingContext.union or several calls to DStream.union, and then I would create a pair dstream with the primary key as key, and then I'd use groupByKey or reduceByKey (or combineByKey etc) to combine the messages with the same primary key. Hope that helps.

Re: Writing streaming data to cassandra creates duplicates
You have to partition that data on the Spark Streaming by the primary key, and then make sure insert data into Cassandra atomically per key, or per set of keys in the partition. You can use the combination of the (batch time, and partition Id) of the RDD inside foreachRDD as the unique id for the data you are inserting. This will guard against multiple attempts to run the task that inserts into Cassandra.
