Summary

Fixes a NoClassDefFoundError for MetadataVersionUtil in the Cosmos Spark connector when running on Databricks Runtime 17.3 LTS (Spark 4.0), where org.apache.spark.sql.execution.streaming.MetadataVersionUtil has been relocated/removed.

Changes

  • Inlined version validation logic in ChangeFeedInitialOffsetWriter instead of depending on the Spark-internal MetadataVersionUtil class
  • Added a validateVersion method to the companion object that replicates the same behavior
  • Removed the import of MetadataVersionUtil

Why

MetadataVersionUtil is a Spark-internal utility that is not part of the public API. Databricks Runtime 17.3 LTS (based on Spark 4.0) relocated this class, causing a NoClassDefFoundError at runtime when the Cosmos Spark connector tries to deserialize change feed offsets.

Since the validation logic is straightforward (parse version number from vN format, check bounds), inlining it removes the fragile dependency on Spark internals.

Impact

  • All Spark connector variants (azure-cosmos-spark_3-*) share this source file via Maven add-source, so the fix applies to all variants automatically.
  • No behavioral change — the inlined logic matches MetadataVersionUtil.validateVersion semantics exactly.

Verification

  • Compilation verified locally for azure-cosmos-spark_3-5_2-12
  • No other references to MetadataVersionUtil remain in the codebase

Inline version validation logic in ChangeFeedInitialOffsetWriter instead
of depending on Spark-internal MetadataVersionUtil, which has been
relocated in Databricks Runtime 17.3 LTS (Spark 4.0).

Add ChangeFeedInitialOffsetWriterSpec with tests covering:
- Valid version strings within supported range
- Version exceeding max supported (UnsupportedLogVersion)
- Malformed versions: non-numeric, empty, missing v prefix, v0, negative, bare v

Widen companion object visibility to private[spark] for testability.

…st notebooks

Add structured streaming scenarios using cosmos.oltp.changeFeed to both
basicScenario.scala and basicScenarioAadManagedIdentity.scala notebooks.
These scenarios exercise the ChangeFeedInitialOffsetWriter and
HDFSMetadataLog code paths that can break on certain Spark distributions
(e.g. Databricks Runtime 17.3+).

Each scenario:
- Creates a sink container
- Reads change feed from source via readStream with micro-batch
- Writes to sink container via writeStream
- Validates records were copied
- Cleans up both containers

Use file:/tmp/ instead of /tmp/ for checkpoint location to avoid DBFS
access issues on Unity Catalog-enabled Databricks clusters. Also:
- Remove unused Trigger import
- Stop query before reading sink to avoid race conditions

Replace cosmos.oltp sink with in-memory sink to eliminate the need for
a separate sink container. This avoids 404 errors from sink container
creation/resolution and removes checkpoint path concerns.

The test still exercises the full ChangeFeedInitialOffsetWriter and
HDFSMetadataLog code paths (readStream with cosmos.oltp.changeFeed),
which is the goal for validating the MetadataVersionUtil fix.

Both notebooks now use the same pattern: derive changeFeedCfg from the
existing cfg map (which already has the correct auth config) plus the
change feed-specific options. Write to an in-memory sink to avoid
container creation issues. This ensures both key-based and AAD/MSI
notebooks exercise identical streaming logic.

The MSI notebook shares a cluster with basicScenario, and the Cosmos
client cache retains references from the first notebook's proactive
connection init. When basicScenario drops the source container during
cleanup, the MSI notebook's change feed streaming fails with 404 on
the cached (now-deleted) container. The change feed streaming test in
basicScenario already provides sufficient coverage for the
ChangeFeedInitialOffsetWriter code paths.

Add detailed logging to capture:
- Endpoint, database, container, auth config used
- Source container record count before streaming
- Streaming query ID
- Full exception details on failure

This will help diagnose why the change feed streaming fails
on the MSI notebook but succeeds on the key-based one.

The MSI change feed test passes on a fresh cluster but fails when
basicScenario runs first on the same cluster without restart. The
basicScenario leaves cached Cosmos client state (proactive connection
init on the ephemeral endpoint) that causes the MSI streaming query
to resolve to the wrong endpoint, resulting in a 404. The change feed
test in basicScenario provides sufficient coverage for the
ChangeFeedInitialOffsetWriter/HDFSMetadataLog code paths.
