I am struggling in trying to read data in kafka and save them to parquet file on hdfs by using spark streaming according to this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45827664/read-from-kafka-and-write-to-hdfs-in-parquet
My code is similar to following val df = spark .read .format("kafka") .option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "host1:port1,host2:port2") .option("subscribe", "topic1") .load() df.selectExpr("CAST(key AS STRING)", "CAST(value AS STRING)") .as[(String, String)] .write.parquet("hdfs://data.parquet") What the difference is I am writing in Java language. But in practice, this code just run once and then exit gracefully. Although it produces the parquet file successfully and no any exception is threw out , it runs like a normal spark program rather than a spark streaming program. What should I do if want to read kafka and save them to parquet in batch? Regard, Junfeng Chen
