Do we really need Autoloader for batch processing.?

Hi All,

It seem AutoLoader is good option for even driven data ingestion but if my job runs only once , do I still need autoloader ? I dont want to spend money to spin a cluster whole day.

I know we have RunOnce option available while running a job but apart from this is there any profit of using Autoloader in batch processing ?

Thanks,
