Structured Streaming
Spark's structured stream processing engine, which treats streaming data as an unbounded table and performs incremental computation through the DataFrame/SQL API, with support for exactly-once semantics.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The "real-time" aspect of Structured Streaming is more micro-batch-level continuous updating, and its latency magnitude depends on the trigger interval and the pace of data arrival rather than hard real-time per-record processing.
Structured Streaming is the stream computing engine built into Apache Spark.
Structured Streaming treats streaming data as an ever-appending table, allowing developers to express streaming logic with batch-oriented SQL or the DataFrame API.
The core mechanism of Structured Streaming is incremental queries: processing only newly arrived data each time rather than recomputing the full history.
Structured Streaming supports event-time-based tumbling window aggregation, watermarking to handle late data, and continuously writing aggregation results to Delta tables.
Structured Streaming is Spark's structured stream processing engine; it treats streaming data as an unbounded table that is continuously appended to, performs incremental computation with the same DataFrame/SQL API as batch processing, and guarantees fault tolerance through checkpoints and exactly-once semantics.
Using Databricks' Structured Streaming capabilities, HP feeds website behavior, order events, and customer service interactions into CustomerLake in near real time, enabling marketing teams to trigger personalized outreach based on the latest behavior.
Checkpoint is the core of Structured Streaming's fault-tolerance mechanism; during each micro-batch execution, Spark persists the operator's state snapshot and execution progress to external storage (typically HDFS or object storage).
State data is written as a fixed number of file shards according to spark.sql.shuffle.partitions or the operator-level partition count, and directly modifying the partition count will cause incompatibility between historical state files in the Checkpoint and the new configuration.
Setting too few partitions causes state skew and processing bottlenecks, while setting too many partitions wastes computing resources during low-traffic periods.
