I’m using Apache Spark Streaming 1.2.0 and trying to define a file filter for file names when creating an InputDStream by invoking the fileStream method. My code is working perfectly fine when I don’t use a file filter, e.g. by invoking the other fileStream method (described here).
According to the documentation of fileStream method, I can pass it
scala.Function1<org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path,Object> filter
But so far, I could not create a fileFilter. My initial attempts have been
1- Tried to implement it as:
Function1<Path, Object> fileFilter = new Function1<Path, Object>() {
@Override
public Object apply(Path v1) {
return true;
}
@Override
public <A> Function1<A, Object> compose(Function1<A, Path> g) {
return Function1$class.compose(this, g);
}
@Override
public <A> Function1<Path, A> andThen(Function1<Object, A> g) {
return Function1$class.andThen(this, g);
}
};
But apparently my implementation of andThen is wrong, and I couldn’t understand how I should implement it. It complains that the anonymous function
is not abstract and does not override abstract method <A>andThen$mcVJ$sp(scala.Function1<scala.runtime.BoxedUnit,A>) in scala.Function1
2- Tried to implement it as:
Function1<Path, Object> fileFilter = new AbstractFunction1<Path, Object>() {
@Override
public Object apply(Path v1) {
return true;
}
};
This one compiles but then when I run it I get an exception:

Any ideas how I can implement a fileFilter so that I can pass it fileStream method, so that I can make Spark Streaming process only the file name patterns I want?
Answer
I had to create another file named FileFilter.java:
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import scala.runtime.AbstractFunction1;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class FileFilter extends AbstractFunction1<Path, Object> implements Serializable {
@Override
public Object apply(Path v1) {
if ( v1.toString().endsWith((".json")) ) {
return Boolean.TRUE;
} else {
return Boolean.FALSE;
}
}
}
And then pass it to the fileStream method as in:
fileStream(inDirectory, new FileFilter(), false, ...)
And it worked without any problems.
