Structured Streaming使用foreachBatch输出遇到ambiguous reference to overloaded definition异常

问题描述

使用官方提供的格式调用Structured Streaming 的foreachBatch案例输出时报异常，下面是案例的代码

streamingDF.writeStream.foreachBatch { (batchDF: DataFrame, batchId: Long) =>
  batchDF.persist()
  batchDF.write.format(...).save(...)  // location 1
  batchDF.write.format(...).save(...)  // location 2
  batchDF.unpersist()
}

下面是我当时遇到的异常输出

Error:(87, 8) ambiguous reference to overloaded definition,
both method foreachBatch in class DataStreamWriter of type (function: org.apache.spark.api.java.function.VoidFunction2[org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset[org.apache.spark.sql.Row],Long])org.apache.spark.sql.streaming.DataStreamWriter[org.apache.spark.sql.Row]
and  method foreachBatch in class DataStreamWriter of type (function: (org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset[org.apache.spark.sql.Row], Long) => Unit)org.apache.spark.sql.streaming.DataStreamWriter[org.apache.spark.sql.Row]
match argument types ((org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset[org.apache.spark.sql.Row], Any) => Unit)

解决方案

确定lambda表达式输出Unit。修改代码为：

streamingDF.writeStream.foreachBatch { (batchDF: DataFrame, batchId: Long) =>
  batchDF.persist()
  batchDF.write.format(...).save(...)  // location 1
  batchDF.write.format(...).save(...)  // location 2
  batchDF.unpersist()
  () //在最后添加一个括号，表示输出Unit
}

其他说明

这样改主要是因为，对于两个冲突的lambda类型(org.apache.spark.api.java.function.VoidFunction2[org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset[org.apache.spark.sql.Row],Long])和(org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset[org.apache.spark.sql.Row], Long)=>Unit，后一的lambda表达式有确定返回值为Unit。其实我也不是很确定是不是这个原因造成的，但是当时这样改就成功了。
