You can express your streaming computation the same way you would express a batch computation on static data.The Spark SQL engine will take care of running it incrementally and continuously and updating the final result as streaming data continues to arrive. You can use the [Dataset/DataFrame API](sql-programming-guide.html) in Scala, Java or Python to express streaming aggregations, event-time windows, stream-to-batch joins, etc. The computation is executed on the same optimized Spark SQL engine. Finally, the system ensures end-to-end exactly-once fault-tolerance guarantees through checkpointing and Write Ahead Logs. In short, *Structured Streaming provides fast, scalable, fault-tolerant, end-to-end exactly-once stream processing without the user having to reason about streaming.* +Structured Streaming is a scalable and fault-tolerant stream processing engine built on the Spark SQL engine.

In this guide, we are going to walk you through the programming model and the APIs.

The output can be defined in a different mode: - *Complete Mode* - The entire updated Result Table will be written to the external storage. It is up to the storage connector to decide how to handle writing of the entire table.
