Yuval Itzchakov commented on SPARK-15406:
-----------------------------------------
As someone using Spark Streaming and Kafka in production, I really don't
understand the need for a "speedy" 2.0.1 release. People today are generally
confused as for the availability of Kafka and Structured Streaming. I've
answered numerous StackOverflow answers where people ask "how do I use Kafka as
a source?", not understanding this is still a missing piece in the puzzle. I
would appreciate a design process which can be split up into potential smaller
set of features released every minor version, but there still needs to be a
thought process behind this. For example, not being able to specify offsets in
a production environment is a show stopper for me when I'm expected to deal
with exactly one semantics, and this may be a big deal for other users as well.
I think releasing a small subset of features would only go about and confuse
even more, especially if things are about to break in the future.
Having said that, I would be happy to take part in such a design process and
help implementation where needed. I think Tathagatas document is a good start,
and perhaps we should move all questions and remarks to the document.

> ================== Old description =========================
> Structured streaming doesn't have support for kafka yet. I personally feel
> like time based indexing would make for a much better interface, but it's
> been pushed back to kafka 0.10.1
