It's not mandatory. But the strong recommendation is to use Checkpointing for Streaming irrespective of your use case. This is because the default checkpoint location can get a lot of files over time as there is no graceful guaranteed cleaning in pla...

The streaming checkpoint mechanism is independent of the Trigger type. The way checkpoint works are it creates an offset file when processing the batch and once the batch is completed it creates a commit file for that batch in the checkpoint director...
