You are right in tour answer to what Mohit wrote. However what Mohit seems to
be alluring but did not write properly might be different.

You are wrong in saying "generally" streaming works in HDFS and cassandra .
Streaming typically works with streaming or queing source like Kafka, kinesis,
Twitter, flume, zeroMQ, etc (but can also from HDFS and S3 ) However ,
streaming context ( "receiver" wishing the streaming context ) gets
events/messages/records and forms a time window based batch (RDD)-
So there is a maximum gap of window time from alert message was available to
spark and when the processing happens. I think you meant about this.
As per spark programming model, RDD is the right way to deal with data. If you
are fine with the minimum delay of say a sec (based on min time window that
dstreaming can support) then what Rohit gave is a right model.
