Problem: how do we recover from user errors (connectivity issues / storage 
service down / etc.)?
Environment: Spark streaming using Kafka Direct Streams
Code Snippet:

HashSet<String> topicsSet = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList("kafkaTopic1"));
HashMap<String, String> kafkaParams = new HashMap<String, String>();
kafkaParams.put("metadata.broker.list", "localhost:9092");
kafkaParams.put("auto.offset.reset", "smallest");


JavaPairInputDStream<String, String> messages = KafkaUtils
.createDirectStream(jssc, String.class, String.class, StringDecoder.class, 
StringDecoder.class, kafkaParams, topicsSet);

JavaDStream<String> inputStream = messages
       .map(new Function<Tuple2<String, String>, String>() {
       @Override
       public String call(Tuple2<String, String> tuple2) {
              return tuple2._2();
       }});

inputStream.foreachRDD(new Function<JavaRDD<String>, Void>() {

       @Override
       public Void call(JavaRDD<String> rdd) throws Exception {
              if(!rdd.isEmpty())
              {
rdd.foreach(new VoidFunction<String>(){
@Override
                      public void call(String arg0) throws Exception {
System.out.println("------------------------rdd----------"+arg0);
Thread.sleep(1000);

throw new Exception(" :::::::::::::::user and/or service 
exception::::::::::::::"+arg0);

                      }});

              }
              return null;
       }
});

Detailed Description: Using spark streaming I read the text messages from kafka 
using direct API. For sake of simplicity, all I do in processing is printing 
each message on console and sleep of 1 sec. as a placeholder for actual 
processing. Assuming we get a user error may be due to bad record, format error 
or the service connectivity issues or let's say the persistent store downtime. 
I've represented that with throwing an Exception from foreach block. I 
understand spark retries this configurable number of times and  proceeds ahead. 
The question is what happens to those failed messages, does ( if yes when ) 
spark re-tries those ? If not, does it have any callback method so as user can 
log / dump it in error queue and provision it for further analysis and / or 
retrials manually. Also, fyi, checkpoints are enabled and above code is in 
create context method to recover from spark driver / worker failures.
