Image Support in Spark
• Convert from compressed Images format
(e.g., PNG and JPG) to raw representation
of an image for OpenCV
• One record per one image file
See also SPARK-21866 by Ilya Matiach, and Deep Learning Pipelines for Apache Spark

(Stateless) History Server
History Server Using K-V Store
• Requires storing app lists and UI in the memory
• Requires reading/parsing the whole log file
See also SPARK-18085 and the proposal by Marcelo Vanzin

• Store app lists and UI in a persistent K-V store (LevelDB)
• Set ‘spark.history.store.path’ to use this feature
• The event log written by lower versions is still compatible
See also SPARK-18085 and the proposal by Marcelo Vanzin

R Structured Streaming

Barrier Execution
Apache Spark 3.0
• [SPARK-24374] barrier execution mode
• [SPARK-24374] barrier execution mode

Eager Evaluation
• Set ‘spark.sql.repl.eagerEval.enabled’ to true to enable eager evaluation in Jupyter

Eager Evaluation
• Set ‘spark.sql.repl.eagerEval.enabled’ to true to enable eager evaluation in Jupyter
See also (ongoing) SPARK-24572 for Eagar Evaluation at R side

Flexible Streaming Sink
• Exposing output rows of each microbatch as a DataFrame
• foreachBatch(f: Dataset[T] => Unit) Scala/Java/Python APIs in DataStreamWriter.

Avro Data Source
• Apache Avro (https://avro.apache.org)
• A data serialization format
• Widely used in the Spark and Hadoop ecosystem, especially for Kafka-based data pipelines.
• Spark-Avro package (https://github.com/databricks/spark-avro)
• Spark SQL can read and write the Avro data.
• Inlining Spark-Avro package [SPARK-24768]
• Better experience for first-time users of Spark SQL and structured streaming
• Expect further improve the adoption of structured streaming

Avro Data Source
• from_avro/to_avro functions to read and write Avro data within a DataFrame instead of
just files.
• Example:
• Decode the Avro data into a struct
• Filter by column `favorite_color`
• Encode the column `name` in Avro format

Avro Data Source
• Refactor Avro Serializer and Deserializer
• External
• Arrow Data -> Row -> InternalRow
• Native
• Arrow Data -> InternalRow

Avro Data Source
• Options:
• compression: compression codec in write
• ignoreExtension: if ignore .avro or not in read
• recordNamespace: record namespace in write
• recordName: top root record name in write
• avroSchema: avro schema to use
• Logical type support:
• Date [SPARK-24772]
• Decimal [SPARK-24774]
• Timestamp [SPARK-24773]

Image Data Source
• Spark datasource for image format
• ImageSchema deprecated use instead:
• SQL syntax support
• Partition discovery

Higher-order Functions
• Takes functions to transform complex datatype like map, array and struct

Higher-order Functions

Built-in Functions
• New or extended built-in functions for ArrayTypes and MapTypes
• 26 functions for ArrayTypes
• transform, filter, reduce, array_distinct, array_intersect, array_union, array_except, array_join,
array_max, array_min, ...
• 8 functions for MapTypes
• map_from_arrays, map_from_entries, map_entries, map_concat, map_filter, map_zip_with,
transform_keys, transform_values
