Class StreamingContext

Object

org.apache.spark.streaming.StreamingContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Logging

public class StreamingContext
extends Object
implements Logging

Main entry point for Spark Streaming functionality. It provides methods used to create DStreams from various input sources. It can be either created by providing a Spark master URL and an appName, or from a org.apache.spark.SparkConf configuration (see core Spark documentation), or from an existing org.apache.spark.SparkContext. The associated SparkContext can be accessed using context.sparkContext. After creating and transforming DStreams, the streaming computation can be started and stopped using context.start() and context.stop(), respectively. context.awaitTermination() allows the current thread to wait for the termination of the context by stop() or by an exception.

queue - Queue of RDDs. Modifications to this data structure must be synchronized.

oneAtATime - Whether only one RDD should be consumed from the queue in every interval

defaultRDD - Default RDD is returned by the DStream when the queue is empty. Set as null if no RDD should be returned when empty

evidence$14 - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

Note:

Arbitrary RDDs can be added to queueStream, there is no way to recover data of those RDDs, so queueStream doesn't support checkpointing.

union

public <T> DStream<T> union(scala.collection.Seq<DStream<T>> streams,
                            scala.reflect.ClassTag<T> evidence$15)

Create a unified DStream from multiple DStreams of the same type and same slide duration.

Parameters:

streams - (undocumented)

evidence$15 - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

transform

public <T> DStream<T> transform(scala.collection.Seq<DStream<?>> dstreams,
                                scala.Function2<scala.collection.Seq<RDD<?>>,Time,RDD<T>> transformFunc,
                                scala.reflect.ClassTag<T> evidence$16)

Create a new DStream in which each RDD is generated by applying a function on RDDs of the DStreams.

Parameters:

dstreams - (undocumented)

transformFunc - (undocumented)

evidence$16 - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

addStreamingListener

public void addStreamingListener(StreamingListener streamingListener)

Add a StreamingListener object for receiving system events related to streaming.

Parameters:

streamingListener - (undocumented)

removeStreamingListener

public void removeStreamingListener(StreamingListener streamingListener)

getState

public StreamingContextState getState()

:: DeveloperApi ::

Return the current state of the context. The context can be in three possible states -

- StreamingContextState.INITIALIZED - The context has been created, but not started yet. Input DStreams, transformations and output operations can be created on the context. - StreamingContextState.ACTIVE - The context has been started, and not stopped. Input DStreams, transformations and output operations cannot be created on the context. - StreamingContextState.STOPPED - The context has been stopped and cannot be used any more.

Returns:

(undocumented)

start

public void start()

Start the execution of the streams.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the StreamingContext is already stopped.

awaitTermination

public void awaitTermination()

Wait for the execution to stop. Any exceptions that occurs during the execution will be thrown in this thread.

awaitTerminationOrTimeout

public boolean awaitTerminationOrTimeout(long timeout)

Wait for the execution to stop. Any exceptions that occurs during the execution will be thrown in this thread.

Parameters:

timeout - time to wait in milliseconds

Returns:

true if it's stopped; or throw the reported error during the execution; or false if the waiting time elapsed before returning from the method.

stop

public void stop(boolean stopSparkContext)

Stop the execution of the streams immediately (does not wait for all received data to be processed). By default, if stopSparkContext is not specified, the underlying SparkContext will also be stopped. This implicit behavior can be configured using the SparkConf configuration spark.streaming.stopSparkContextByDefault.

Parameters:

stopSparkContext - If true, stops the associated SparkContext. The underlying SparkContext will be stopped regardless of whether this StreamingContext has been started.

stop

public void stop(boolean stopSparkContext,
                 boolean stopGracefully)

Stop the execution of the streams, with option of ensuring all received data has been processed.

Parameters:

stopSparkContext - if true, stops the associated SparkContext. The underlying SparkContext will be stopped regardless of whether this StreamingContext has been started.

stopGracefully - if true, stops gracefully by waiting for the processing of all received data to be completed
