Hi All, I'm trying the new hotness of using Kafka and Structured Streaming.
Resources that I've looked at - https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/streaming-programming-guide.html - https://databricks.com/blog/2016/07/28/structured-streaming- in-apache-spark.html - https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/streaming-custom-receivers.html - http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/438089/notebooks/spark2.0/Stru ctured%20Streaming%20using%20Python%20DataFrames%20API.html My setup is a bit weird (yes.. yes.. I know...) - Eventually I'll just use a DataBricks cluster and life will be bliss :) - But for now I want to test/try stuff out on my little Mac Laptop The newest version of PySpark will install a local Spark server with a simple: $ pip install pyspark This is very nice. I've put together a little notebook using that kewl feature: - https://github.com/Kitware/BroThon/blob/master/notebooks/Bro_to_Spark_Cheesy.ipynb So the next step is the setup/use a Kafka message queue and that went well/works fine. $ kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic dns *I get messages spitting out....* {"ts":1503513688.232274,"uid":"CdA64S2Z6Xh555","id.orig_h":"192.168.1.7","id.orig_p":58528,"id.resp_h":"192.168.1.1","id.resp_p":53,"proto":"udp","trans_id":43933,"rtt":0.02226,"query":"brian.wylie.is.awesome.tk","qclass":1,"qclass_name":"C_INTERNET","qtype":1,"qtype_name":"A","rcode":0,"rcode_name":"NOERROR","AA":false,"TC":false,"RD":true,"RA":true,"Z":0,"answers":["17.188.137.55","17.188.142.54","17.188.138.55","17.188.141.184","17.188.129.50","17.188.128.178","17.188.129.178","17.188.141.56"],"TTLs":[25.0,25.0,25.0,25.0,25.0,25.0,25.0,25.0],"rejected":false} Okay, finally getting to my question: - Local spark server (good) - Local kafka server and messages getting produced (good) - Trying to this line of PySpark code (not good) # Setup connection to Kafka Stream dns_events = spark.readStream.format('kafka')\ .option('kafka.bootstrap.servers', 'localhost:9092')\ .option('subscribe', 'dns')\ .option('startingOffsets', 'latest')\ .load() fails with: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to find data source: kafka. Please find packages at http://spark.apache.org/third-party-projects.html I've looked that the URL listed... and poking around I can see that maybe I need the kafka jar file as part of my local server. I lamely tried this: $ spark-submit --packages org.apache.spark:spark-sql-kafka-0-10_2.11:2.2.0 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing application resource. at org.apache.spark.launcher.CommandBuilderUtils.checkArgument(CommandBuilderUtils.java:241) at org.apache.spark.launcher.SparkSubmitCommandBuilder.buildSparkSubmitArgs(SparkSubmitCommandBuilder.java:160) at org.apache.spark.launcher.SparkSubmitCommandBuilder.buildSparkSubmitCommand(SparkSubmitCommandBuilder.java:274) at org.apache.spark.launcher.SparkSubmitCommandBuilder.buildCommand(SparkSubmitCommandBuilder.java:151) at org.apache.spark.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:86) Anyway, all my code/versions/etc are in this notebook: - https://github.com/Kitware/BroThon/blob/master/notebooks/Bro_to_Spark.ipynb I'd be tremendously appreciative of some super nice, smart person if they could point me in the right direction :) -Brian Wylie
