Github user harishreedharan commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/11672#issuecomment-196115717 I agree with @ksakellis on this one. It would be great if we can pull Kafka out as well. I understand that there are a lot of users who might find it difficult, but if you think about it, most people use the plugins via mvn anyway (since we don't actually package them in our assembly). I am not sure what the policy is if we pull it into a different repo and if we can keep the same groupId and artifactId, but that could be an alternative and most likely will not break too many users.
