Hi, I just switched from "createStream" to the "createDirectStream" API for kafka and while things otherwise seem happy, the first thing I noticed is that stream/receiver stats are gone from the Spark UI :( Those stats were very handy for keeping an eye on health of the app.
What's the best way to re-create those in the Spark UI? Maintain Accumulators? Would be really nice to get back receiver-like stats even though I understand that "createDirectStream" is a receiver-less design. Thanks, Tim
