Spark Streaming REST Custom Receiver -

is possible use rest api in custom receiver spark streaming?

i trying able multiple calls / reads api asynchronously , use spark streaming it.

a custom receiver can whatever process produces data asynchronously. typically, def receive() method send async requests rest server, maybe using using futures , dedicated threadpool. oncompletion of future, call store(data) method give results spark streaming job. in nutshell,

• def onstart() => creates process manages async request response handling
• def receive() => continuously i/o , reports results through calling store(...)
• def onstop() => stops process , cleans onstart creates.

there's example in custom receivers docs.
