Re: Parallelising JDBC reads in spark

Does anything different happened when you set the isolationLevel to do
Dirty Reads i.e. "READ_UNCOMMITTED"

Thanks Dhaval for the suggestion, but in the case i mentioned in previous mail still data can be missed as the row number will change.

If possible, set the watermark before reading data. Read the max of watermark column before reading actual data and add that in query to read actual data, like watermark <= current_watermark

It may query db twice, however it will make sure you are not missing any records

Well you seem to have performance and consistency problems. Using a CDC tool fitting for your database you might be able to fix both.
However, streaming the change events of the database log might be a bit more complicated. Tools like https://debezium.io/ could be useful - depending on your source database.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response.

Even with that flag set data miss can happen right ?. As the fetch is based on the last watermark (maximum timestamp of the row that last batch job fetched ), Take a scenario like this with table

a :  1
b :  2
c :  3
d :  4
f  :  6
g :  7
h :  8
e :  5


  *   a,b,c,d,e get picked by 1 task
  *   by the time second task starts, e has been updated, so the row order changes
  *   As f moves up, it will completely get missed in the fetch
