I'm not re-using any InputDStreams actually, this is one InputDStream that has a window applied to it. Then when Spark creates and assigns tasks to read from the Topic, one executor gets assigned two tasks to read from the same TopicPartition, and uses the same CachedKafkaConsumer to read from the TopicPartition causing the ConcurrentModificationException in one of the worker threads.

If you need to read from the same Kafka source, you need to create another DStream.

I've been working through debugging this issue and after looking through some of the spark source code I think this is a bug. Our set up is: Spark 2.0.2, running in Mesos 0.28.0-2 in client mode, using Spark-Streaming-Kafka-010 spark.executor.cores 1 spark.mesos.extra.cores 1 Batch interval: 10s, window interval: 180s, and slide interval: 30s We would see the exception when in one executor there are two task worker threads assigned the same Topic+Partition, but a different set of offsets. They would both get the same CachedKafkaConsumer, and whichever task thread went first would seek and poll for all the records, and at the same time the second thread would try to seek to its offset but fail because it is unable to acquire the lock.

It looks like when WindowedDStream does the getOrCompute call its computing all the sets of of offsets it needs and tries to farm out the work in parallel. So each available worker task gets each set of offsets that need to be read. After realizing what was going on I tested four states: - spark.executor.cores 1 and spark.mesos.extra.cores 0 - No Exceptions - spark.executor.cores 1 and spark.mesos.extra.cores 1 - ConcurrentModificationException - spark.executor.cores 2 and spark.mesos.extra.cores 0 - ConcurrentModificationException - spark.executor.cores 2 and spark.mesos.extra.cores 1 - ConcurrentModificationException I'm not sure what the best solution to this is if we want to be able to have N tasks threads read from the same TopicPartition to increase parallelization. You could possibly allow N CachedKafkaConsumers for the same TopicPartition. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Kalvin
