All Implemented Interfaces:: java.io.Serializable

public abstract class Receiver<T>
extends Object
implements scala.Serializable

:: DeveloperApi :: Abstract class of a receiver that can be run on worker nodes to receive external data. A custom receiver can be defined by defining the functions onStart() and onStop(). onStart() should define the setup steps necessary to start receiving data, and onStop() should define the cleanup steps necessary to stop receiving data. Exceptions while receiving can be handled either by restarting the receiver with restart(...) or stopped completely by stop(...) or

A custom receiver in Scala would look like this.


  class MyReceiver(storageLevel: StorageLevel) extends NetworkReceiver[String](storageLevel) {
      def onStart() {
          // Setup stuff (start threads, open sockets, etc.) to start receiving data.
          // Must start new thread to receive data, as onStart() must be non-blocking.

          // Call store(...) in those threads to store received data into Spark's memory.

          // Call stop(...), restart(...) or reportError(...) on any thread based on how
          // different errors needs to be handled.

          // See corresponding method documentation for more details
      }

      def onStop() {
          // Cleanup stuff (stop threads, close sockets, etc.) to stop receiving data.
      }
  }

A custom receiver in Java would look like this.


 class MyReceiver extends Receiver<String> {
     public MyReceiver(StorageLevel storageLevel) {
         super(storageLevel);
     }

     public void onStart() {
          // Setup stuff (start threads, open sockets, etc.) to start receiving data.
          // Must start new thread to receive data, as onStart() must be non-blocking.

          // Call store(...) in those threads to store received data into Spark's memory.

          // Call stop(...), restart(...) or reportError(...) on any thread based on how
          // different errors needs to be handled.

          // See corresponding method documentation for more details
     }

     public void onStop() {
          // Cleanup stuff (stop threads, close sockets, etc.) to stop receiving data.
     }

public Receiver(StorageLevel storageLevel)
```
- Method Detail
  - storageLevel
```
public StorageLevel storageLevel()
```
  - onStart
```
public abstract void onStart()
```
    This method is called by the system when the receiver is started. This function must initialize all resources (threads, buffers, etc.) necessary for receiving data. This function must be non-blocking, so receiving the data must occur on a different thread. Received data can be stored with Spark by calling store(data).
    If there are errors in threads started here, then following options can be done (i) reportError(...) can be called to report the error to the driver. The receiving of data will continue uninterrupted. (ii) stop(...) can be called to stop receiving data. This will call onStop() to clear up all resources allocated (threads, buffers, etc.) during onStart(). (iii) restart(...) can be called to restart the receiver. This will call onStop() immediately, and then onStart() after a delay.
  - onStop
```
public abstract void onStop()
```
    This method is called by the system when the receiver is stopped. All resources (threads, buffers, etc.) setup in onStart() must be cleaned up in this method.
  - preferredLocation
```
public scala.Option<String> preferredLocation()
```
    Override this to specify a preferred location (hostname).
  - store
```
public void store(T dataItem)
```
    Store a single item of received data to Spark's memory. These single items will be aggregated together into data blocks before being pushed into Spark's memory.

    dataItem - (undocumented)
  - store
```
public void store(scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer<T> dataBuffer)

    Restart the receiver. This method schedules the restart and returns immediately. The stopping and subsequent starting of the receiver (by calling onStop() and onStart()) is performed asynchronously in a background thread. The delay between the stopping and the starting is defined by the Spark configuration spark.streaming.receiverRestartDelay. The message will be reported to the driver.
