Hi,
    I am using Spark 1.1.0.  Is there a way to get the complete tweets
corresponding to a handle (for e.g. @Delta)? I tried using the following
example that extracts just the hashtags and replaced the "#" with "@" as
follows.  I need the complete tweet and not just the tags. 

  //  val hashTags = stream.flatMap(status => status.getText.split("
").filter(_.startsWith("#")))

  // replaced the above with the following:
  val tweets = stream.map(status =>
status.getText.filter(_.contains("@Delta")))

  But I get an error:  " value contains is not a member of Char"

  I am trying to find out if there a better  Spark API to get the tweets for
a handle so that we dont have to do the filtering -  Something along the
lines of searchTwitter(topic, number_of_tags) API that is provided by the
twitteR package in R would be appropriate. 

thanks
