If you’re using WAL with Kafka, Spark Streaming will ignore this configuration(autocommit.enable) and explicitly call commitOffset to update offset to Kafka AFTER WAL is done.
No matter what you’re setting with autocommit.enable, internally Spark Streaming will set it to false to turn off autocommit mechanism.

Map<String,String> kafkaParams = new HashMap<String, String>(); kafkaParams.put("zookeeper.connect","ip:2181"); kafkaParams.put("group.id<http://group.id>", "testgroup"); kafkaParams.put("zookeeper.session.timeout.ms<http://zookeeper.session.timeout.ms>", "10000"); kafkaParams.put("autocommit.enable","true"); kafkaParams.put("zookeeper.sync.time.ms<http://zookeeper.sync.time.ms>", "250"); kafkaStreams.add(KafkaUtils.createStream(jssc, byte[].class, byte[].class,kafka.serializer.DefaultDecoder.class , kafka.serializer.DefaultDecoder.class, kafkaParams, topicsMap, StorageLevel.MEMORY_ONLY())); Here since I have set autocommit.enable to true , does spark streaming will ignore this and always call explicit commitOffset high level consumer connector or does it depends on parameter passed? Since if it depends upon parameter and receiver calls explicit commit only when autocommit is false, then I should override the default autocommit to false from true while enabling WAL, since it may give duplicate in case of failure if WAL is enabled and autocommit is true.
