:: Experimental :: Create a RDD from Kafka using offset ranges for each topic and partition. This allows you specify the Kafka leader to connect to (to optimize fetching) and access the message as well as the metadata.

Parameters:

sc - SparkContext object

kafkaParams - Kafka configuration parameters. Requires "metadata.broker.list" or "bootstrap.servers" to be set with Kafka broker(s) (NOT zookeeper servers) specified in host1:port1,host2:port2 form.

offsetRanges - Each OffsetRange in the batch corresponds to a range of offsets for a given Kafka topic/partition

leaders - Kafka brokers for each TopicAndPartition in offsetRanges. May be an empty map, in which case leaders will be looked up on the driver.

messageHandler - Function for translating each message and metadata into the desired type

:: Experimental :: Create an input stream that directly pulls messages from Kafka Brokers without using any receiver. This stream can guarantee that each message from Kafka is included in transformations exactly once (see points below).

Points to note: - No receivers: This stream does not use any receiver. It directly queries Kafka - Offsets: This does not use Zookeeper to store offsets. The consumed offsets are tracked by the stream itself. For interoperability with Kafka monitoring tools that depend on Zookeeper, you have to update Kafka/Zookeeper yourself from the streaming application. You can access the offsets used in each batch from the generated RDDs (see HasOffsetRanges). - Failure Recovery: To recover from driver failures, you have to enable checkpointing in the StreamingContext. The information on consumed offset can be recovered from the checkpoint. See the programming guide for details (constraints, etc.). - End-to-end semantics: This stream ensures that every records is effectively received and transformed exactly once, but gives no guarantees on whether the transformed data are outputted exactly once. For end-to-end exactly-once semantics, you have to either ensure that the output operation is idempotent, or use transactions to output records atomically. See the programming guide for more details.

Parameters:

ssc - StreamingContext object

kafkaParams - Kafka configuration parameters. Requires "metadata.broker.list" or "bootstrap.servers" to be set with Kafka broker(s) (NOT zookeeper servers) specified in host1:port1,host2:port2 form.

fromOffsets - Per-topic/partition Kafka offsets defining the (inclusive) starting point of the stream

:: Experimental :: Create an input stream that directly pulls messages from Kafka Brokers without using any receiver. This stream can guarantee that each message from Kafka is included in transformations exactly once (see points below).

Points to note: - No receivers: This stream does not use any receiver. It directly queries Kafka - Offsets: This does not use Zookeeper to store offsets. The consumed offsets are tracked by the stream itself. For interoperability with Kafka monitoring tools that depend on Zookeeper, you have to update Kafka/Zookeeper yourself from the streaming application. You can access the offsets used in each batch from the generated RDDs (see HasOffsetRanges). - Failure Recovery: To recover from driver failures, you have to enable checkpointing in the StreamingContext. The information on consumed offset can be recovered from the checkpoint. See the programming guide for details (constraints, etc.). - End-to-end semantics: This stream ensures that every records is effectively received and transformed exactly once, but gives no guarantees on whether the transformed data are outputted exactly once. For end-to-end exactly-once semantics, you have to either ensure that the output operation is idempotent, or use transactions to output records atomically. See the programming guide for more details.

Parameters:

jssc - JavaStreamingContext object

keyClass - Class of the keys in the Kafka records

valueClass - Class of the values in the Kafka records

keyDecoderClass - Class of the key decoder

valueDecoderClass - Class type of the value decoder

kafkaParams - Kafka configuration parameters. Requires "metadata.broker.list" or "bootstrap.servers" to be set with Kafka broker(s) (NOT zookeeper servers), specified in host1:port1,host2:port2 form. If not starting from a checkpoint, "auto.offset.reset" may be set to "largest" or "smallest" to determine where the stream starts (defaults to "largest")

topics - Names of the topics to consume

Returns:
