    Study Notes

    Delta Lake Streaming Under the Hood

    • The presentation discusses Delta Lake streaming under the hood, focusing on the structure streaming internals, Delta table properties, and common issues with mitigation strategies.

    Structure Streaming Internals

    • A sample stream reads from a Delta table and writes to a Delta table with a specified checkpoint location.
    • The stream processes data in micro-batches, tracking progress in the checkpoint location.
    • Delta Lake's transaction logs enable efficient streaming, allowing Spark to read incremental data from the source table.

    Query Progress Logs

    • Query progress logs are JSON logs generated by Spark after each micro-batch, providing execution details about the stream.
    • Logs are categorized into five types:
      • Micro-batch execution metrics (e.g., micro-batch ID, trigger time)
      • Source and sync metrics (e.g., source offset, end offset, number of input rows)
      • Stream performance metrics (e.g., input rows per second, process rows per second)
      • Batch duration metrics (e.g., time spent on different activities)
      • Streaming state metrics (e.g., state information)

    Correlating Query Progress Logs with Delta Table History

    • Example stream: reading from Delta table "delta_key_val" and writing to Delta table "delta_stream".
    • Properties: maxFilesPerTrigger=5, trigger=60 seconds.
    • Delta table history: version 0 with 8 files, numFiles=8, numOutputRows=16,384.
    • Query progress logs after the first micro-batch:
      • Start offset: null
      • End offset: reservoir version 0, index 0-4
      • Number of input rows: 10,240

    Streaming Semantics with Delta Lake

    • Understanding query progress logs and correlating them with Delta table history.
    • Example stream: reading from Delta table "delta_key_val" and writing to Delta table "delta_stream".
    • After the first micro-batch:
      • Query progress logs: start offset=null, end offset=reservoir version 0, index 0-4
      • Delta table history: version 0 with 8 files, numFiles=8, numOutputRows=16,384
      • Destination table history: version 1 with 5 files, numFiles=5, numOutputRows=10,240

    Next Micro-Batches

    • After the second micro-batch:
      • Start offset: reservoir version 0, index 4
      • End offset: reservoir version 0, index 7
      • Number of input rows: 5,120
    • After the third micro-batch:
      • Start offset: reservoir version 0, index 7
      • End offset: reservoir version 0, index 7
      • Number of input rows: 0

    Adding New Files to the Source Delta Table

    • Eight new files are added to the source Delta table, creating version 1.
    • Query progress logs after the addition:
      • Start offset: reservoir version 0, index 7
      • End offset: reservoir version 1, index 4
      • Number of input rows: 10,240

    Streaming Checkpoint

    • The checkpoint directory contains the persisted progress of the stream.
    • The stream's progress is divided into three steps:
      1. Construction of the micro-batch
      2. Processing the micro-batch
      3. Committing the micro-batch### Checkpoint Location
    • In the checkpoint location, there are three different contents: offsets, metadata, and commits, stored in JSON format.

    Offsets Folder

    • One file is generated inside the offsets folder for every micro batch, generated whenever a batch starts.
    • Each file contains batch and streaming state details, and source details, but we focus only on the source details.
    • Example: Offset file for micro batch id 0, contains information that maps to the query progress log.
    • Spark stores the content of the end offset, not the start offset, as it's redundant and can be obtained from the previous micro batch offset file.

    Metadata Folder

    • Contains the stream id, a unique id generated when a streaming query starts.

    Commits Folder

    • One file per micro batch is created under the commits folder in step 3 of the execution.
    • The file represents the completion of the micro batch, and if it's not generated, Spark has to handle the previously failed batch first.
    • This is why, when changing configuration options for a stream, it might not kick in until the first batch completes.

    Query Progress Logs

    • They contain different metrics that explain the stream execution patterns.
    • They map to the delta transaction logs.

    Stream Checkpoints

    • Offsets and commits are used to track stream progress and provide fault tolerance capabilities.

    Upcoming Topics

    • Variations of delta streams, such as trigger ones and max bytes per trigger.
    • Delta table properties.
    • Common issues faced when running delta streams in production and mitigation strategies.

    Delta Lake Streaming Under the Hood

      • Destination table history: version 1 with 5 files, numFiles=5, numOutputRows=10,240
