<p>Version 2 of the MongoDB Spark Connector is out!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The current version of the MongoDB Spark Connector was originally written in 2016 and is based upon Version 1 of the Spark Data source API. While this API is still supported, Databricks has released an updated version of the API making it easier for data sources like MongoDB to work within the Spark ecosystem. By having the MongoDB Spark Connector use Version 2, you’ll immediately benefit from capabilities such as tighter integration with Spark Structured Streaming.</p>
