Spark Streaming provides fault-tolerant stream processing capabilities to Spark. To achieve fault-tolerance and exactly-once processing semantics in production, Spark Streaming uses checkpointing to recover from driver failures and write-ahead logging to recover processed data from executor failures. The key aspects required are configuring automatic driver restart, periodically saving streaming application state to a fault-tolerant storage system using checkpointing, and synchronously writing received data batches to storage using write-ahead logging to allow recovery after failures.
