apache-spark - 为什么Complete输出模式需要聚合？

Question

我在 Apache Spark 2.2 中使用最新的结构化流，但出现以下异常:

org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Complete output mode not supported when there are no streaming aggregations on streaming DataFrames/Datasets;;

为什么 Complete 输出模式需要流式聚合？如果 Spark 允许在流式查询中没有聚合的完整输出模式会发生什么？

scala> spark.version
res0: String = 2.2.0

import org.apache.spark.sql.execution.streaming.MemoryStream
import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext
implicit val sqlContext: SQLContext = spark.sqlContext
val source = MemoryStream[(Int, Int)]
val ids = source.toDS.toDF("time", "id").
  withColumn("time", $"time" cast "timestamp"). // <-- convert time column from Int to Timestamp
  dropDuplicates("id").
  withColumn("time", $"time" cast "long")  // <-- convert time column back from Timestamp to Int

import org.apache.spark.sql.streaming.{OutputMode, Trigger}
import scala.concurrent.duration._
scala> val q = ids.
     |   writeStream.
     |   format("memory").
     |   queryName("dups").
     |   outputMode(OutputMode.Complete).  // <-- memory sink supports checkpointing for Complete output mode only
     |   trigger(Trigger.ProcessingTime(30.seconds)).
     |   option("checkpointLocation", "checkpoint-dir"). // <-- use checkpointing to save state between restarts
     |   start

Answer 1

来自 Structured Streaming Programming Guide - 其他查询(不包括聚合， mapGroupsWithState 和 flatMapGroupsWithState ):

Complete mode not supported as it is infeasible to keep all unaggregated data in the Result Table.

要回答这个问题:

What would happen if Spark allowed Complete output mode with no aggregations in a streaming query?

可能是OOM。

令人费解的部分是为什么 dropDuplicates("id")未标记为聚合。
