SPRKPY1064

The Spark element does not apply.

Message: The Spark element does not apply since snowflake uses snowpipe mechanism instead.

Category: Warning

Description

This issue appears when the tool detects the usage of any element from the pyspark.streaming library:

• pyspark.streaming.DStream

• pyspark.streaming.StreamingContext

• pyspark.streaming.listener.StreamingListener.

Scenario

Input

Below is an example with one of the elements that trigger this EWI.

from pyspark.streaming.listener import StreamingListener

var = StreamingListener.Java
var.mro()

df = spark.createDataFrame([(25, "Alice", "150"), (30, "Bob", "350")], schema=["age", "name", "value"])
df.show()

Output

The SMA adds the EWI SPRKPY1064 on the output code to let you know that this function does not apply.

#EWI: SPRKPY1064 => The element does not apply since snowflake uses snowpipe mechanism instead.

var = StreamingListener.Java
var.mro()

df = spark.createDataFrame([(25, "Alice", "150"), (30, "Bob", "350")], schema=["age", "name", "value"])
df.show()

Recommended fix

The SMA removes the import statement and adds the issue to the Issues.csv inventory, remove any usages of the Spark element.

df = spark.createDataFrame([(25, "Alice", "150"), (30, "Bob", "350")], schema=["age", "name", "value"])
df.show()
