Cody Koeninger commented on SPARK-12203:
----------------------------------------

Commented on the PR.  I don't think this makes sense for inclusion in spark, at 
least in its current state.

I think efforts towards minimizing latency of the direct stream (assuming that 
just tuning your batch sizes smaller isn't sufficient) would be better spent 
pursuing pre-fetching / caching on the executors... but that's a noticeable 
increase in complexity.

> Currently, we have DirectKafkaInputDStream, which directly pulls messages 
> from Kafka Brokers without any receivers, and KafkaInputDStream, which pulls 
> messages from a Kafka Broker using receiver with zookeeper.
> As we observed, because DirectKafkaInputDStream retrieves messages from Kafka 
> after each batch finishes, it posts a latency compared with KafkaInputDStream 
> that continues to pull messages during each batch window.
> So we try to add KafkaDirectInputDStream that directly pulls messages from 
> Kafka Brokers as DirectKafkaInputDStream, but it uses receivers as 
> KafkaInputDStream and pulls messages during each batch window.
