  • Spark 2.0.0
  • Apache Kafka 0.10.1.0
  • scala 2.11.8

When I use spark streaming and kafka integration with kafka broker version 0.10.1.0 with the following Scala code it fails with the following exception:

16/11/13 12:55:20 ERROR Executor: Exception in task 0.0 in stage 0.0 (TID 0)

Why? How to fix it?

Code :

import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.ConsumerRecord
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer
import org.apache.spark.streaming.kafka010._
import org.apache.spark.streaming.kafka010.LocationStrategies.PreferConsistent
import org.apache.spark.streaming.kafka010.ConsumerStrategies.Subscribe
import org.apache.spark._
import org.apache.commons.codec.StringDecoder
import org.apache.spark.streaming._

object KafkaConsumer_spark_test {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("KafkaConsumer_spark_test").setMaster("local[4]")
    val ssc = new StreamingContext(conf, Seconds(1))
    ssc.checkpoint("./checkpoint")
    val kafkaParams =Map[String, Object](
      "bootstrap.servers" -> "localhost:9092",
      "key.deserializer" -> classOf[StringDeserializer],
      "value.deserializer" -> classOf[StringDeserializer],
      "group.id" -> "example",
      "auto.offset.reset" -> "latest",
      "enable.auto.commit" -> (false: java.lang.Boolean)
    )

    val topics = Array("local1")
    val stream = KafkaUtils.createDirectStream[String, String](
      ssc,
      PreferConsistent,
      Subscribe[String, String](topics, kafkaParams)
    )
    stream.map(record => (record.key, record.value))
    stream.print()

    ssc.start()
    ssc.awaitTermination()
  }
}

The Consumer record object is received from Dstream. When you try to print it, it gives error because that object is not serailizable. Instead you should get values from ConsumerRecord object and print it.

instead of stream.print(), do:

stream.map(record=>(record.value().toString)).print

This should solve your problem.

GOTCHA

For anyone else seeing this exception, any call to checkpoint will call a persist with storageLevel = MEMORY_ONLY_SER, so don't call checkpoint until you call map
