DeltaCDFRelation¶

DeltaCDFRelation is a BaseRelation (Spark SQL) and a PrunedFilteredScan (Spark SQL).

Creating Instance¶

DeltaCDFRelation takes the following to be created:

• SnapshotWithSchemaMode
• SQLContext (Spark SQL)
• Starting version
• Ending version

DeltaCDFRelation is created when:

• CDCReaderImpl is requested for a CDF-aware BaseRelation

Building Distributed Scan¶

buildScan(
  requiredColumns: Array[String],
  filters: Array[Filter]): RDD[Row]

buildScan creates a batch DataFrame of changes.

buildScan does column pruning with the requiredColumns defined (using Dataset.select operator).

In the end, buildScan converts the DataFrame to RDD[Row] (using DataFrame.rdd operator).
