  • Method Details

    • getOffset

      PartitionOffset getOffset()
      Get the offset of the next record, or the start offset if no records have been read.

      The execution engine will call this method along with get() to keep track of the current offset. When a task ends, the offset in each partition will be passed back to the driver. They will be used as the start offsets of the next batch.

    • nextWithTimeout

      SupportsRealTimeRead.RecordStatus nextWithTimeout(Long timeout) throws IOException
      Alternative function to be called than next(), that proceed to the next record. The different from next() is that, if there is no more records, the call needs to keep waiting until the timeout.
      Parameters:
      timeout - if no result is available after this timeout (milliseconds), return
      Returns:
      SupportsRealTimeRead.RecordStatus describing whether a record is available and its arrival time
      Throws:
      IOException
