I just stumbled upon this issue as well in Spark 1.6.2 when trying to write my own custom Sink. For anyone else who runs into this issue, there are two relevant JIRAs that I found, but no solution as of yet: - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14151 - Propose to refactor and expose Metrics Sink and Source interface - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18115 - Custom metrics Sink/Source prevent Executor from starting
