Why "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to find data source: kinesis" with spark-streaming-kinesis-asl dependency? - scala

Question

My setup:
scala:2.11.8
spark:2.3.0.cloudera4
I have already add this in my .pom file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-streaming-kinesis-asl_2.11</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
However, when I run my spark-streaming code to consume data from kinesis, it returns:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to find data source: kinesis.
I got a similar error when I consume data from Kafka and solved it by indicating the dependent jar in the submit command. But it seems this doesn't work this time:
sudo -u hdfs spark2-submit --packages org.apache.spark:spark-streaming-kinesis-asl_2.11:2.3.0 --class com.package.newkinesis --master yarn sparktest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
How to address this issue? Any help is appreciated.
My code:
val spark = SparkSession
.builder.master("local[4]")
.appName("SpeedTester")
.config("spark.driver.memory", "3g")
.getOrCreate()
val kinesis = spark.readStream
.format("kinesis")
.option("streamName", kinesisStreamName)
.option("endpointUrl", kinesisEndpointUrl)
.option("initialPosition", "TRIM_HORIZON")
.option("awsAccessKey", awsAccessKeyId)
.option("awsSecretKey", awsSecretKey)
.load()
kinesis.writeStream.format("console").start().awaitTermination()

Answer 1

tl;dr It won't work.
You use spark-streaming-kinesis-asl_2.11 dependency that is for the older Spark Streaming API with the new Spark Structured Streaming and hence the exception.
You have to find a compatible Spark Structured Streaming data source for AWS Kinesis which is not officially supported by the Apache Spark project.
