Thanks TD, this helps. Looking forward to some fix where framework handles the batch failures by some callback methods. This will help not having to write try/catch in every transformation / action.

This is something that is worth fixing, that batch exceptions should not be silently ignored. Also, you can catch failed batch jobs (irrespective of the number of retries) by catch the exception in foreachRDD. Here is an example. dstream.foreachRDD { rdd => try { } catch { } } This will catch failures at the granularity of the job, after all the max retries of a task has been done. But it will be hard to filter and find the push the failed record(s) somewhere. To do that, I would do use rdd.foreach or rdd.foreachPartition, inside which I would catch the exception and push that record out to another Kafka topic, and continue normal processing of other records. This would prevent the task process the partition from failing (as you are catching the bad records). dstream.foreachRDD { rdd => rdd.foreachPartition { iterator => // Create Kafka producer for bad records iterator.foreach { record => try { // process record } catch { case ExpectedException => // publish bad record to error topic in Kafka using above producer } } } } TD PS: Apologies for the Scala examples, hope you get the idea :) On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 9:56 AM, Amit Assudani <aassud...@impetus.com<mailto:aassud...@impetus.com>> wrote: Also, I get TaskContext.get() null when used in foreach function below ( I get it when I use it in map, but the whole point here is to handle something that is breaking in action ).

Also, I know the limitation of checkpoint in upgrading the code, but my main focus here to mitigate the connectivity issues to persistent store which gets resolved in a while, but how do I know which all messages failed and need rework ?

It's up to you to either catch those exceptions, or restart your stream appropriately once it stops. Keep in mind that if you're relying on checkpoints, and fixing the error requires changing your code, you may not be able to recover the checkpoint.

Environment: Spark streaming using Kafka Direct Streams Code Snippet: HashSet<String> topicsSet = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList("kafkaTopic1")); HashMap<String, String> kafkaParams = new HashMap<String, String>(); kafkaParams.put("metadata.broker.list", "localhost:9092"); kafkaParams.put("auto.offset.reset", "smallest"); JavaPairInputDStream<String, String> messages = KafkaUtils .createDirectStream(jssc, String.class, String.class, StringDecoder.class, StringDecoder.class, kafkaParams, topicsSet); JavaDStream<String> inputStream = messages .map(newFunction<Tuple2<String, String>, String>() { @Override public String call(Tuple2<String, String> tuple2) { returntuple2._2(); }}); inputStream.foreachRDD(newFunction<JavaRDD<String>, Void>() { @Override public Void call(JavaRDD<String> rdd)throws Exception { if(!rdd.isEmpty()) { rdd.foreach(newVoidFunction<String>(){ @Override publicvoid call(String arg0)throws Exception { System.out.println("------------------------rdd----------"+arg0); Thread.sleep(1000); thrownew Exception(" :::::::::::::::user and/or service exception::::::::::::::"+arg0); }}); } returnnull; } }); Detailed Description: Using spark streaming I read the text messages from kafka using direct API. For sake of simplicity, all I do in processing is printing each message on console and sleep of 1 sec. as a placeholder for actual processing. Assuming we get a user error may be due to bad record, format error or the service connectivity issues or let’s say the persistent store downtime. I’ve represented that with throwing an Exception from foreach block. I understand spark retries this configurable number of times and proceeds ahead. The question is what happens to those failed messages, does ( if yes when ) spark re-tries those ? If not, does it have any callback method so as user can log / dump it in error queue and provision it for further analysis and / or retrials manually. Also, fyi, checkpoints are enabled and above code is in create context method to recover from spark driver / worker failures. ________________________________ NOTE: This message may contain information that is confidential, proprietary, privileged or otherwise protected by law.
