The MongoDB team has released a new version of the Spark Connector, version 10.0, which offers tighter integration with Spark Structured Streaming and improved compatibility with Databricks' updated Data Source API. The new connector uses a different namespace than the previous version, allowing for coexistence in the same Spark application. This release provides better support for stream processing and conversion of existing batch jobs into streaming jobs using Structured Streaming. The new version is not intended to replace the current MongoDB Spark Connector but rather offers additional features and improvements.
