Thanks Dhaval for the suggestion, but in the case i mentioned in previous mail still data can be missed as the row number will change.

Read the max of watermark column before reading actual data and add that in query to read actual data, like watermark <= current_watermark It may query db twice, however it will make sure you are not missing any records Regards Dhaval On Mon, May 25, 2020 at 3:38 AM Manjunath Shetty H <manjunathshe...@live.com<mailto:manjunathshe...@live.com>> wrote: Thanks Georg for the suggestion, but at this point changing the design is not really the option.

Using a CDC tool fitting for your database you might be able to fix both. However, streaming the change events of the database log might be a bit more complicated. Tools like https://debezium.io/ could be useful - depending on your source database. Best, Georg Am Mo., 25.

Even with that flag set data miss can happen right ?. As the fetch is based on the last watermark (maximum timestamp of the row that last batch job fetched ), Take a scenario like this with table a : 1 b : 2 c : 3 d : 4 f : 6 g : 7 h : 8 e : 5 * a,b,c,d,e get picked by 1 task * by the time second task starts, e has been updated, so the row order changes * As f moves up, it will completely get missed in the fetch Thanks Manjunath ________________________________ From: Mike Artz <michaelea...@gmail.com<mailto:michaelea...@gmail.com>> Sent: Monday, May 25, 2020 10:50 AM To: Manjunath Shetty H <manjunathshe...@live.com<mailto:manjunathshe...@live.com>> Cc: user <user@spark.apache.org<mailto:user@spark.apache.org>> Subject: Re: Parallelising JDBC reads in spark Does anything different happened when you set the isolationLevel to do Dirty Reads i.e. "READ_UNCOMMITTED" On Sun, May 24, 2020 at 7:50 PM Manjunath Shetty H <manjunathshe...@live.com<mailto:manjunathshe...@live.com>> wrote: Hi, We are writing a ETL pipeline using Spark, that fetch the data from SQL server in batch mode (every 15mins). Problem we are facing when we try to parallelising single table reads into multiple tasks without missing any data. We have tried this, * Use `ROW_NUMBER` window function in the SQL query * Then do * DataFrame df = hiveContext .read() .jdbc( <url>, query, "row_num", 1, <upper_limit>, noOfPartitions, jdbcOptions); The problem with this approach is if our tables get updated in between in SQL Server while tasks are still running then the `ROW_NUMBER` will change and we may miss some records. Any approach to how to fix this issue ? . Any pointers will be helpful Note: I am on spark 1.6 Thanks Manjiunath Shetty
