Some operations like `map`, `flatMap`, etc. need the type to be known at compile time. To do those, you can convert these untyped streaming DataFrames to typed streaming Datasets using the same methods as static DataFrame. See the SQL Programming Guide for more details. Additionally, more details on the supported streaming sources are discussed later in the document. ## Operations on streaming DataFrames/Datasets -You can apply all kinds of operations on streaming DataFrames/Datasets - ranging from untyped, SQL-like operations (e.g. select, where, groupBy), to typed RDD-like operations (e.g. map, filter, flatMap).

Imagine the quick example is modified and the stream contains lines along with the time when the line was generated. Instead of running word counts, we want to count words within 10 minute windows, updating every 5 minutes. That is, word counts in words received between 10 minute windows 12:00 - 12:10, 12:05 - 12:15, 12:10 - 12:20, etc. Note that 12:00 - 12:10 means data that arrived after 12:00 but before 12:10. Now, consider a word that was received at 12:07. This word should increment the counts corresponding to two windows 12:00 - 12:10 and 12:05 - 12:15. So the counts will be indexed by both, the grouping key (i.e. the word) and the window (can be calculated from the event-time). @@ -680,7 +680,7 @@ df.groupBy("type", window("time", "1 minute")).avg("signal") Now consider what happens if one of the events arrives late to the application.

While some of these unsupported operations will be supported in future releases of Spark, there are others which are fundamentally hard to implement on streaming data efficiently.
