Regarding this Jira
by default spark commits offsets to zookeeper every so seconds.
Even if you fix reconnect to kafka, we do not know from which offsets it will 
begin to consume.
So it would not recompute rdd as it should. It will receive arbitrary data. 
From the past, or from the future.
With high-level consumer we just do not have control over this.

Hith-level consumer should not be used in production with spark. Period.
Spark should use low-level consumer, control offsets and partition assignment 
deterministically. 
Like storm does.

I think if we have fixed kafka input like above. We can control such window 
automatically — like tcp window, slow start, and such.
But it will be great to have some fix available now anyway.
