Hi Durga,

One way would be to keep those stats in an actor, and have a branch that 
sends that data to it.

Something like this:

val statsActorSink = Sink.actorRef(refToStatsActor, Done)
regularSource.alsoTo(statsActorSink).via(regularProcessingFlow).to(regularSink)

This will send every event in the stream to the actor for calculating 
stats. 
You can then query that actor or periodically publish the stats somewhere 
from it depending on what you need.
