Answer 1

The error message clearly says the reason for the error: Data source jdbc does not support streamed writing

So if you want to write data to JDBC sink from the structured streaming, you need to use foreachBatch instead, something like this:

def foreach_batch_function(df, epoch_id):
    df.format("jdbc").option("url", "url")\
      .option("dbtable","test").option("user","postgres")\
      .option("password", "password").save()
  
df5.writeStream.foreachBatch(foreach_batch_function).start()
