How can I use spark to writeStream data from a kafka topic into hdfs?

Question

I have been trying to get this code to work for hours:

val spark = SparkSession.builder() 
.appName("Consumer") 
.getOrCreate() 

spark.readStream 
.format("kafka") 
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", url) 
.option("subscribe", topic) 
.load() 
.select("value") 
.writeStream 
.format(fileFormat) 
.option("path", filePath) 
.option("checkpointLocation", "/tmp/checkpoint") 
.start() 
.awaitTermination() 

it gives this exception:

Logical Plan: 
Project [value#8] 
+- StreamingExecutionRelation KafkaV2[Subscribe[MyTopic]], [key#7, value#8, topic#9, partition#10, offset#11L, timestamp#12, timestampType#13]

I don't understand what's going on, I am simply trying to write data from a kafka topic into HDFS using spark streaming. Why is this so hard? And how can I do it?

I got the batching version to work just fine:

spark.read 
.format("kafka") 
.option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", url) 
.option("subscribe", topic) 
.load() 
.selectExpr("CAST(value AS String)") 
.write 
.format(fileFormat) 
.save(filePath)

Answer 1

@happy You are encountering a known bug in structured streaming https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25257

This is because the offset from disk is never deserialized and the fix will be merged in coming release

Answer 2

我将spark版本更改为2.3.2后，一切开始正常工作。
