             Summary: Config the start time (jitter) for streaming jobs
                 Key: SPARK-14230
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14230
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Streaming
            Reporter: Liyin Tang


Currently, RecurringTimer will normalize the start time. For instance, if batch 
duration is 1 min, all the job will start exactly at 1 min boundary. 

This actually adds some burden to the streaming source. Assuming the source is 
Kafka, and there is a list of streaming jobs with 1 min batch duration, then at 
first few seconds of each min, high network traffic will be observed in Kafka. 
This makes Kafka capacity planning tricky. 

It will be great to have an option in the streaming context to set the job 
start time. In this way, user can add a jitter for the start time for each, and 
make Kafka fetch_request much smooth across the duration window.

{code}
class RecurringTimer {
  def getStartTime(): Long = {
    (math.floor(clock.currentTime.toDouble / period) + 1).toLong * period + 
jitter
  }
}
{code}
