Is the checkpoint requires for the delta lake merge operation in a streaming job

Viewed 90

I have an understanding that for a spark streaming merge it's helpful to have a checkpoint location specified to not process stuff twice on the job restart (even if the operation is idempotent and ins't mentioned in example notebook). Is it correct?

If you don't specify the location of the checkpoint, each time all the data will be reprocessed.
