Can't get a stream of Tweets using Twitter Streaming API on Spark

Question

I am trying to do some analysis on Tweets using Twitter Streaming API.

I first wanted to print the Status messages from stream, and start from there.

My code is shown below:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("TwitterStreamPrinter").setMaster("local");

  Configuration twitterConf = new ConfigurationBuilder()
      .setOAuthConsumerKey(consumerKey)
      .setOAuthConsumerSecret(consumerSecret)
      .setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken)
      .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(accessTokenSecret).build();
  OAuth2Authorization auth = new OAuth2Authorization(twitterConf);
  JavaReceiverInputDStream<Status> twitterStream = TwitterUtils.createStream(ssc, auth);

  JavaDStream<String> statuses = twitterStream.map(new Function<Status, String>() {
    public String call(Status status) throws Exception {
      return status.getText();
    }
  });
  statuses.print();

It does not print out anything other than Spark logs. I initially thought that this was because of authorization, so I tried all kinds of different ways to pass the authorization, but maybe it's not the authorization.

I looked at every example I could find from the web (although there's not many), and this code looks like a standard code to get Twitter statuses, but why is it not printing anything? I also tried System.out.println , but it didn't work.

Answer 1

You have everything in your logs:

6/03/19 12:02:25 WARN StreamingContext: spark.master should be set as local[n], n > 1 in local mode if you have receivers to get data, otherwise Spark jobs will not get resources to process the received data.

so the answer is set master to be local[*]

in addition, have you forgot to start?

jssc.start(); // Start the computation

jssc.awaitTermination();
