As far as I could understand... 1. Using Python (PySpark), the use of Twitter Streaming (TwitterUtils <http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.streaming.twitter.TwitterUtils$>) as well as Customer Receivers is restricted to Scala and Java APIs on Spark 1.6.1; 2. Maven linking Twitter/spark-streaming-twitter_2.10 is being removed from Spark Streaming core Scala/Java API (Maven Linking <http://home.apache.org/~pwendell/spark-releases/spark-2.0.0-preview-docs/streaming-programming-guide.html#linking> ) 3. There are no plans to support Twitter Streaming Python API (pyspark) on Spark 2.0 or later 4. Twitter Streaming API usage over Python (Spark pyspark) is and will continue being restricted to Twitter REST API
Could you please confirm if these 4 my assumption are correct or is there any alternative way for using Twitter Streaming API on PySpark from Spark 2.0?
