How to read parquet files using `ssc.fileStream()`? What are the types passed to `ssc.fileStream()`?

Question

My understanding of Spark\'s fileStream() method is that it takes three types as parameters: Key, Value, and Format. In c

You can access the parquet by adding some parquet specific hadoop settings :

val ssc = new StreamingContext(conf, Seconds(5))
var schema =StructType(Seq(
      StructField("a", StringType, nullable = false),
      ........

     ))
val schemaJson=schema.json

val fileDir="/tmp/fileDir"
ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set("parquet.read.support.class", "org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.parquet.ParquetReadSupport")  ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set("org.apache.spark.sql.parquet.row.requested_schema", schemaJson)
ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set(SQLConf.PARQUET_BINARY_AS_STRING.key, "false")
ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set(SQLConf.PARQUET_INT96_AS_TIMESTAMP.key, "false")
ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set(SQLConf.PARQUET_WRITE_LEGACY_FORMAT.key, "false")
ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set(SQLConf.PARQUET_BINARY_AS_STRING.key, "false")

val streamRdd = ssc.fileStream[Void, UnsafeRow, ParquetInputFormat[UnsafeRow]](fileDir,(t: org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path) => true, false)

streamRdd.count().print()

ssc.start()
ssc.awaitTermination()

This code was prepared with Spark 2.1.0.

My sample to read parquet files in Spark Streaming is below.

val ssc = new StreamingContext(sparkConf, Seconds(2))
ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration.set("parquet.read.support.class", "parquet.avro.AvroReadSupport")
val stream = ssc.fileStream[Void, GenericRecord, ParquetInputFormat[GenericRecord]](
  directory, { path: Path => path.toString.endsWith("parquet") }, true, ssc.sparkContext.hadoopConfiguration)

val lines = stream.map(row => {
  println("row:" + row.toString())
  row
})

Some points are ...

• record type is GenericRecord
• readSupportClass is AvroReadSupport
• pass Configuration to fileStream
• set parquet.read.support.class to the Configuration

I referred to source codes below for creating sample.
And I also could not find good examples.
I would like to wait better one.
