spark.hadoop.dfs.replication parameter not working for kafka-spark streaming

[Abhishek Anand]

My spark streaming checkpoint directory is being written to HDFS with
default replication factor of 3.

In my streaming application where I am listening from kafka and setting the
dfs.replication = 2 as below the files are still being written with
replication factor=3

SparkConf sparkConfig = new
SparkConf().setMaster("mymaster").set("spark.hadoop.dfs.replication", "2");

Is there anything else that I need to do ??


Thanks !!!
Abhi
