[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-51360) Spark counts the total no of records twice in forEachBatch

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-51360?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17931970#comment-17931970 ] 

Ramakrishna commented on SPARK-51360:
-------------------------------------

This is found in Delta's documentation

 

[https://docs.delta.io/latest/delta-update.html#upsert-into-a-table-using-merge]

 

 
 * When {{merge}} is used in {{{}foreachBatch{}}}, the input data rate of the streaming query (reported through {{StreamingQueryProgress}} and visible in the notebook rate graph) may be reported as a multiple of the actual rate at which data is generated at the source. This is because {{merge}} reads the input data multiple times causing the input metrics to be multiplied. If this is a bottleneck, you can cache the batch DataFrame before {{merge}} and then uncache it after {{{}merge{}}}.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Spark Core, Spark Submit, Structured Streaming
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.1
>            Reporter: Ramakrishna
>            Priority: Critical

> It looks like Spark's 
> *numInputRows* in spark's streamingQuery Listener, is wrongly calculated , it is double the number of actual records. This can be very misleading in production scenarios.
>  
> Please find the screenshots attached .
> The *numInputRows* is sometimes a multiple of actual no of records .
> If you see the screenshot, I have df.count() inside forEachBatch and it matches the rate stream's ingestion rate. 2 rows per second and 30 seconds trigger is around 60 records , But *numInputRows* is double the value.
>  
> This seems to be a problem only with forEachBatch, otherwise it works fine.
>  
> I have observed this issue with Delta table as input source, and delta table as output source.
> However in my example I have used *rate* stream.
>  
> I have also zipped the project which reproduces the problem, (Minimal Reproducible Example)
> You need Java 8 and SBT to run this locally.
