KafkaConsumer is not safe for multi-threaded access from SparkStreaming - apache-spark

Question

I have set up multiple streams reading from different kafka topics:
for(topic <- topics) {
val stream = KafkaUtils.createDirectStream[String, String](
ssc,
PreferConsistent,
Subscribe[String, String](
Array(topicConfig.srcTopic),
kafkaParameters()
)
)
stream.map(...).reduce(...)...
}
kafkaParameters basically has the needed config:
"bootstrap.servers" -> bootstrapServers,
"key.deserializer" -> classOf[StringDeserializer],
"value.deserializer" -> classOf[StringDeserializer],
"group.id" -> groupId,
"auto.offset.reset" -> "latest",
"enable.auto.commit" -> (false: java.lang.Boolean)//,
I am using kafka 0.10 integration with spark streaming. The spark configuration is:
val conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local[*]").setAppName("AppName").set("spark.streaming.concurrentJobs", "4")
And getting the exception:
Caused by: java.util.ConcurrentModificationException: KafkaConsumer is not safe for multi-threaded access
