In an event driven architecture you have to perform an action to stop the event in a controlled manner.
That ( say) streamingContext.stop() or for that matter streamingContext.stop(stopGracedully=True) won't cause any stop by itself. *You need to build in a mechanism *to tell spark streaming to process the last message in the topic and stop. Your publisher is still active and you want to wait until the 'current' message in the topic is processed. I suggest you experiment for yourself and find out.
