I don't think it is possible in the way you try to do it. It is important
to remember that the statements you mention only set up the stream stages,
before the stream is actually running. Once it's running, you cannot
change, remove or add stages.

I am not sure how you determine your condition and what the actual change
should be when that condition is met: you say you want a different update
function but then give a statement with the same update function but a
different source stream). Is the condition determined somehow from the data
coming through streamLogs, and is newData basically streamLogs again
(rather than a whole data source?). In that case I can think of 3 things to
try:

- if the condition you switch on can be determined independently from every
item in streamLogs, you can simply do an if/else inside updateResultsStream
to change the method that you determine your state
- if this is not the case, but you can determine when to switch your
condition for each key independently, you can extend your state type to
also keep track of your condition: rather than using
JavaPairDStream<String, String> you make updatedResultsState a
JavaPairDStream<String, Pair<String, Boolean>> (assuming you have some
class Pair), and you make updateResultsStream update and check the state of
the boolean.
- finally, you can have a separate state stream that keeps track of your
condition globally, then join that with you main stream and use that to
update state. Something like:

// determineCondition should result in a reduction to a single item that
signals whether the condition is met in the current batch,
updateContitionState should remember that
conditionStateStream =
streamLogs.reduce(determineCondition).updateStateByKey(updateConditionState)


// addCondition gets RDDs from streamLogs and  single-item RDDs with the
condition state and should add that state to each item in the streamLogs RDD
joinedStream = streamLogs.transformWith(conditionStateStream, addCondition)

// This is similar to the extend state type of the previous idea, but now
your condition state is determined globally rather than per log entry
updatedResultsState = joinedStream.updateStateByKey(updateResultsStream)

I hope this applies to your case and that it makes sense, my Java is a bit
rusty :) and perhaps others can suggest better spark streaming methods that
can be used, but hopefully the idea is clear.
