Jacek Laskowski updated SPARK-20597:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
1. {{KafkaSourceProvider}} supports {{topic}} option that sets the Kafka topic 
to save a DataFrame to.

1. {{KafkaSourceProvider}} can use {{topic}} column to assign rows to Kafka 
topics for writing

but what seems quite interesting is to support {{start(path: String)}} as the 
least precedence option in which {{path}} would designate the default topic 
when no other options are used.

{code}
df.writeStream.format("kafka").start(path = "topic")
{code}

See 
http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/KafkaSourceProvider-Why-topic-option-and-column-without-reverting-to-path-as-the-least-priority-td21458.html
 for discussion

> KafkaSourceProvider falls back on path as synonym for topic
