Spark Streaming: Inputs are received but not processed - intellij-idea

Question

I am running a simple SparkStreaming application, that consists in sending messages through a socket server to the SparkStreaming Context and printing them.
This is my code, which I am running in IntelliJ IDE:
SparkConf sparkConfiguration= new SparkConf().setAppName("DataAnalysis").setMaster("spark://IP:7077");
JavaStreamingContext sparkStrContext=new JavaStreamingContext(sparkConfiguration, Durations.seconds(1));
JavaReceiverInputDStream<String> receiveData=sparkStrContext.socketTextStream("localhost",5554);
I am running this application in a standalone cluster mode, with one worker (an Ubuntu VM) and a master (my Windows host).
This is the problem: When I run the application, I see that it successfully connected to the master, but it doesn't print any lines:
it just stays this way permanently.
If I go to the Spark UI, I find that the SparkStreaming Context is receiving inputs, but they are not being processed:
Can someone help me please? Thank you so much.

Answer 1

You need to perform below.
sparkStrContext.start(); // Start the computation
sparkStrContext.awaitTermination(); // Wait for the computation to terminate
Once you do this , you need to post the messages at port 5554 , for this you will first need to run Netcat (a small utility found in most Unix-like systems) as a data server by using and start pushing the stream.
For example , you need to do like below.
TERMINAL 1:
# Running Netcat
$ nc -lk 5554
hello world
TERMINAL 2: RUNNING Your streaming program
-------------------------------------------
Time: 1357008430000 ms

hello world
