A quick primer on global aggregations

As noted in the previous section, so far, our script has performed a point in time streaming word count. The following diagram denotes the lines DStream and its micro-batches as per how our script had executed in the previous section:

A quick primer on global aggregations

At the 1 second mark, our Python Spark Streaming script returned the value of {(blue, 5), (green, 3)}, at the 2 second mark it returned {(gohawks, 1)}, and at the 4 second mark, it returned {(green, 2)}. But what if you had wanted the aggregate word count over a specific time window?

The following figure represents us calculating a stateful aggregation:

A quick primer on global aggregations

In this case, we have a time window between 0-5 seconds. Note, that in our script we have not got the specified time window: each second, we calculate the cumulative sum of the words. Therefore, at the 2 second mark, the output is not just the green and blue from the 1 second mark, but it also includes the gohawks from the 2 second mark: {(blue, 5), (green, 3), (gohawks, 1...
