Thanks Rafal.

Based on this I tried to make sample code, where I would like to count 
number of elements being processed and their sum:

val source = Source (1 to 5).filter(x=> x%2==0)

val sink:Sink[Int, Future[Int]]=Sink.fold[Int,Int](0)(_ + _)

val runnableGraph = source.via(counter[Int]).toMat(sink)(Keep.both)

val result=runnableGraph.run()


def counter[T]: Flow[T, T, Counter] = {
  val internalCounter = new AtomicLong(0)
  Flow[T].map{ elem ⇒
    internalCounter.incrementAndGet()
    elem
    }.mapMaterializedValue(_ ⇒ new Counter{
    override def get = internalCounter.get
  })
}



1. using Keep.both, result should able to return me count and sum, but it is 
not?

2. How materialize values are different than "out"? I am not able to visualize 
the difference between materialize values and out?

Thanks 
Arun
