Spark Structured Streaming Word Count

This is a project detailing how to write a streaming word count program in Apache Spark using Structured Streaming. The related blog post can be found at https://barrelsofdata.com/spark-structured-streaming-word-count

Build instructions

From the root of the project execute the below commands

• To clear all compiled classes, build and log directories

./gradlew clean

• To run tests

./gradlew test

• To build jar

./gradlew build

Run

Ensure your local hadoop cluster is running (hadoop cluster tutorial) and start two kafka brokers (kafka tutorial).

• Create kafka topic

kafka-topics.sh --create --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --replication-factor 2 --partitions 2 --topic streaming-data

• Start streaming job

spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster build/libs/spark-structured-streaming-wordcount-1.0.0.jar <KAFKA_BROKER> <KAFKA_TOPIC>
Example: spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode client build/libs/spark-structured-streaming-wordcount-1.0.0.jar localhost:9092 streaming-data

• You can feed simulated data to the kafka topic
• Open new terminal and run the shell script located at src/test/resources/dataProducer.sh
• Produces the following json structure every 1 second: {"ts":1594307307,"str":"This is an example string"}

cd src/test/resources
./dataProducer.sh localhost:9092 streaming-data
