[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-24815) Structured Streaming should support dynamic allocation

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24815?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17263876#comment-17263876 ]

------------------------------------

Is there any updates/progress on this feature especially for cases where Kafka is input source?

> For batch jobs, dynamic allocation is very useful for adding and removing containers to match the actual workload. On multi-tenant clusters, it ensures that a Spark job is taking no more resources than necessary. In cloud environments, it enables autoscaling.
> However, if you set spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled=true and run a structured streaming job, the batch dynamic allocation algorithm kicks in. It requests more executors if the task backlog is a certain size, and removes executors if they idle for a certain period of time.
> Quick thoughts:
> 1) Dynamic allocation should be pluggable, rather than hardcoded to a particular implementation in SparkContext.scala (this should be a separate JIRA).
> 2) We should make a structured streaming algorithm that's separate from the batch algorithm. Eventually, continuous processing might need its own algorithm.
> 3) Spark should print a warning if you run a structured streaming job when Core's dynamic allocation is enabled
