Jascha Swisher updated SPARK-5037:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
The scala and java streaming APIs support "external" InputDStreams (e.g. the 
ZeroMQReceiver example) through a number of mechanisms, for instance by 
overriding ActorReceiver or just subclassing Receiver directly. The pyspark 
streaming API does not currently allow similar flexibility, being limited at 
the moment to file-backed text and binary streams or socket text streams.

It would be great to open up the pyspark streaming API to other stream sources, 
putting it closer to on par with the JVM APIs.

One way of doing this could be to support dynamically loading InputDStream 
implementations through reflection at the JVM level, analogously to what is 
currently done for Hadoop InputFormats in the regular pyspark context.py Hadoop 
methods. 

I'll submit a PR momentarily with my shot at this. Comments and alternative 
approaches more than welcome.
