Ryan Williams commented on SPARK-5784:
--------------------------------------
Hi [~varvind], the verdict here was that this functionality should live outside
of the Spark repository. Luckily, it's still very easy to incorporate such
external functionality into your Spark applications at runtime:
* Build a standalone JAR yourself that includes the StatsDSink class.
* Put that JAR on your Spark driver's classpath at runtime (cf. [the
{{--driver-class-path}}
argument|https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.3.1/configuration.html#runtime-environment]).
* Register it in your {{metrics.properties}} file the way you would if it lived
in the Spark repository itself.
If you additionally publish the standalone functionality/class in the [Spark
packages|http://spark-packages.org/] index, others will be able to easily find
and use it as well.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense.
