TransformWithState for Structured Streaming in Upcoming Apache Spark™ 4.0
Please join us for this important webinar to discuss the Structured Streaming features in the upcoming Apache Spark™ 4.0.0 release.
This session will cover the new transformWithState operator API, part of the upcoming Apache Spark™ 4.0 release. This operator supports numerous features to help unlock the next generation of mission-critical operational workloads running on Apache Spark.
We’ll cover the merits of this new operator API to:
Define custom processing logic using an object-oriented paradigm
Perform flexible state modeling
Run event-driven programs with fine-grained triggers
Leverage other features: TTL, operator-chaining, state schema evolution, etc.
Please join us and learn more about the Structured Streaming feature in the upcoming Apache Spark™ 4.0.0 🤝

Talk 1: TransformWithState in Structured Streaming for upcoming
Apache Spark™ 4.0
Abstract: In this session, we will cover the brand new transformWithState operator API, which will be launched in the upcoming Apache Spark™ 4.0 release. This operator supports numerous features to help unlock the next generation of mission-critical operational workloads running on Apache Spark.
Users can define custom processing logic using an object-oriented paradigm, perform flexible state modeling, and run event-driven programs with the help of fine-grained timers. They can also leverage other features, such as automatic eviction using TTL, chaining multiple operators, and flexible state schema evolution to improve the cost and efficiency of their streaming pipelines.
Through native integrations with state data source readers and Spark Connect, users will also benefit from better usability and observability while running on top of the familiar DataFrame API.
Join us to see what you can build with this new, exciting API in Apache Spark™ Structured Streaming!
