I have a simple job scheduled every 5 min. Basically it listens to cloudfiles on storage account and writes them into delta table, extremely simple. The code is something like this:df = (spark
.readStream
.format("cloudFiles")
.option('cloudFil...
Hi,I am running batch job which processes incoming files. I am trying to limit number of files in each batch process so added maxFilesPerTrigger option. But its not working. It processes all incoming files at once.(spark.readStream.format("delta").lo...
Hi @Sandeep ,Can we usespark.readStream.format("delta").option(""maxBytesPerTrigger", "50G").load(silver_path).writeStream.option("checkpointLocation", gold_checkpoint_path).trigger(availableNow=True).foreachBatch(foreachBatchFunction).start()
Hi,When reading Delta Lake file (created by Auto Loader) with this code: df = ( spark.readStream .format('cloudFiles') .option("cloudFiles.format", "delta") .option("cloudFiles.schemaLocation", f"{silver_path}/_checkpoint") .load(bronz...
@Vladif1 The error occurs because the cloudFiles format in Auto Loader is meant for reading raw file formats like CSV, JSON ... for ingestion for more Format Support. For Delta tables, you should use the Delta format directly. #Sample Example

You’ve gotten familiar with Delta Live Tables (DLT) via the quickstart and getting started guide. Now it’s time to tackle creating a DLT data pipeline for your cloud storage–with one line of code. Here’s how it’ll look when you're starting:CREATE OR ...
Hi MadelynM,How should we handle Source File Archival and Data Retention with DLT? Source File Archival: Once the data from source file is loaded with DLT Auto Loader, we want to move the source file from source folder to archival folder. How can we ...
I am attempting to use autoloader to add a number of csv files to a delta table. The underlying csv files have spaces in the attribute names though (i.e. 'Account Number' instead of 'AccountNumber'). When I run my autoload, I get the following error ...
@Hubert Dudek thanks for your response! I was able to use what you proposed above to generate the schema. The issue is that the schema sets all attributes to STRING values and renames them numerically ('_c0', '_c1', etc.). Although this allows us to...
We are having a streaming use case and we see a lot of time in listing from azure.Is it possible to supply partition to autoloader dynamically on the fly
@somanath Sankaran - Thank you for posting your solution. Would you be happy to mark your answer as best so that other members may find it more quickly?
I'm using autoloader directory listing mode (without incremental file listing) and sometimes, new files are not picked up and found in the cloud_files-listing.I have found that using the 'cloudfiles.backfillInterval'-option can resolve the detection ...
If we set the backfill to 1 week, will it run only 1ce a week or rather it will look for old files not processed in every trigger ?For eg :- if we set it to 1 day and the job runs every hour, then will it look for files in past 24 hours on a sliding ...
I am currently using two streams to monitor data in two different containers on an Azure storage account. Is there any way to configure an autoloader to read from two different locations? The schemas of the files are identical.
@Morten Stakkeland :Yes, it's possible to configure an autoloader to read from multiple locations.You can define multiple CloudFiles sources for the autoloader, each pointing to a different container in the same storage account. In your case, since ...
Hello,We can use Autoloader to track the files that have been loaded from S3 bucket or not. My question about Autoloader: is there a way to read the Autoloader database to get the list of files that have been loaded?I can easily do this in AWS Glue j...
Hi, I have several streaming jobs, however one of them uses the Trigger.AvailableNow. The issue is that it gets stuck when there is no events or finishes ingesting all events. The expected behavior would be the job being shutdown.I've already checked...
Hi,am trying to apply batch size in autoloader and code is as below. But its picking all the changes in one go even if I have put maxFilesPerTrigger as 10. Appreciate any help.(spark.readStream.format("json").schema(streamSchema).option("cloudFiles.b...
Hi @Sanjay Jain , Since you have provided the trigger as once, the maxFilesPerTrigger will not take effect here. With trigger once, all the files will be read together. You need to change the trigger for this option to come into effect.Please refer ...
Hi,I am using autoloader, it picks data from AWS S3 and stores in delta table. In case there are large number of messages, I like to process messages by priority. Is it possible to prioritize messages in autoloader.Regards,Sanjay
Hello everyone!I was wondering if there is any way to get the subdirectories in which the file resides while loading while loading using Autoloader with DLT. For example:def customer(): return ( spark.readStream.format('cloudfiles') .option('clou...
Hi @Parsa Bahraminejad We haven't heard from you since the last response from @Vigneshraja Palaniraj , and I was checking back to see if her suggestions helped you.Or else, If you have any solution, please share it with the community, as it can be...
We have solution implemented for ingesting binary file ( .ZIP ) into delta lake, Currently we are using the below solution within our pipeline.Unzip the file and extract the XML file.Parse the XML using python libraries.Flatten the nested xml columns...
Databricks Auto Loader is an interesting feature that can be used to load data incrementally.✳ It can process new data files as they arrive in the cloud object stores✳ It can be used to ingest JSON, CSV, PARQUET, AVRO, ORC, TEXT and even Binary file ...
