If you are receiving data from Kafka, Wouldn't that be better in Json
format?

.       try:
            # construct a streaming dataframe streamingDataFrame that
subscribes to topic config['MDVariables']['topic']) -> md (market data)
            streamingDataFrame = self.spark \
                .readStream \
                .format("kafka") \
                .option("kafka.bootstrap.servers",
config['MDVariables']['bootstrapServers'],) \
                .option("schema.registry.url",
config['MDVariables']['schemaRegistryURL']) \
                .option("group.id", config['common']['appName']) \
                .option("zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms",
config['MDVariables']['zookeeperConnectionTimeoutMs']) \
                .option("rebalance.backoff.ms",
config['MDVariables']['rebalanceBackoffMS']) \
                .option("zookeeper.session.timeout.ms",
config['MDVariables']['zookeeperSessionTimeOutMs']) \
                .option("auto.commit.interval.ms",
config['MDVariables']['autoCommitIntervalMS']) \
                .option("subscribe", config['MDVariables']['topic']) \
                .option("failOnDataLoss", "false") \
                .option("includeHeaders", "true") \
                .option("startingOffsets", "earliest") \
                .load() \
                .select(from_json(col("value").cast("string"),
schema).alias("parsed_value"))
            return streamingDataFrame
        except Exception as e:
                print(f"""{e}, quitting""")
                sys.exit(1)

and pass a class to the writer

       result = streamingDataFrame. \
                     writeStream. \
                     foreach(*ForeachWriter()*). \
                     start()

You don't want to use a row by row (cursor) approach as it would leave a
lot of messages un processed (as you correctly stated it runs on a single
JVM).


I am doing the same trying to process and write messages to BigQuery.
