-----------------------------

             Summary: Streaming from multiple different Kafka topics is 
problematic
                 Key: SPARK-2388
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2388
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Streaming
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Sergey
             Fix For: 1.0.1


Default way of creating stream out of Kafka source would be as

    val stream = KafkaUtils.createStream(ssc,"localhost:2181","logs", 
Map("retarget" -> 2,"datapair" -> 2))

However, if two topics - in this case "retarget" and "datapair" - are very 
different, there is no way to set up different filter, mapping functions, etc), 
as they are effectively merged.

However, instance of KafkaInputDStream, created with this call internally calls 
ConsumerConnector.createMessageStream() which returns *map* of KafkaStreams, 
keyed by topic. It would be great if this map would be exposed somehow, so 
aforementioned call 

    val streamS = KafkaUtils.createStreamS(...)

returned map of streams.
