Answering my own Question -
I have got some success with Spark Kinesis integration, and the key being
the unionStreams.foreachRDD.
There are 2 versions of the foreachRDD available
- unionStreams.foreachRDD
- unionStreams.foreachRDD ((rdd: RDD[Array[Byte]], time: Time)
For some reason the first one is not able to get me the results but
changing to the second one fetches me the results as expected. Yet to
explore the reason.
Adding a code snippet below for reference.
Hope it helps someone :)
Thanks everyone for help.

all failures by the Kinesis Client Lib is silent, therefore don't show up
on the logs. It's very hard to debug those buggers.
