I saw this slide: http://image.slidesharecdn.com/east2016v2matei-160217154412/95/2016-spark-summit-east-keynote-matei-zaharia-5-638.jpg?cb=1455724433
Didn't see the talk - was this just referring to the existing work on the spark-streaming-kafka subproject, or is someone actually working on making Kafka Connect ( http://docs.confluent.io/2.0.0/connect/ ) play nice with Spark?
