Also, as we were discussing with @harishreedharan, there is the issue of
broadcasting the producer config.
Indeed, if we restore our streaming context from a checkpoint with
```getOrCreate``` we'll get an exception when trying to use the broadcast
variable as broadcast variables are not checkpointed, this has already come up
[on the mailing
list](http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/NullPointerException-on-reading-checkpoint-files-td7306.html).
Maybe we should open a separate jira for this as this seems to be a valid
use case afaic.
