Hi,
I came across the spark listener API while checking out possible UI
extensions recently. I noticed that all events inherit from a sealed trait
`SparkListenerEvent` and that a SparkListener has a corresponding
`onEventXXX(event)` method for every possible event.

Considering that events inherit from a sealed trait and thus all events are
known during compile-time, what is the rationale of using specific methods
for every event rather than a single method that would let a client pattern
match on the type of event?

I don't know the internals of the pattern matcher, but again, considering
events are sealed, I reckon that matching performance should not be an
issue.

thanks,
--Jakob
