Connecting Kafka to Spark Streaming

The following section walks you through a program that reads the streaming data off the Kafka topic and counts the words. The aspects that will be captured in the following code are as follows:

• Kafka-Spark Streaming integration
• Creating and consuming from DStreams in Spark
• See the streaming application reading from an infinite unbounded stream to generate results

Let's take a look at the following code:

package com.example.spark; 
Import files: 
import java.util.Collection; 
import java.util.HashMap; 
import java.util.Iterator; 
import java.util.Map; 
import java.util.regex.Pattern; 
 
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf; 
import org.apache.spark.api.java.function.Function; 
import org.apache.spark.streaming.Duration; 
import org.apache.spark.streaming.api.java.JavaDStream; 
import org.apache.spark.streaming.api.java.JavaPairReceiverInputDStream...
