Spark-Streaming-Kafka-1.6.3- KafkaUtils.createStream function uses the old Logging class

While trying using org.apache.spark.streaming.kafka.KafkaUtils.createStream function to create a stream for consumer, I came across an error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/spark/Logging". I checked the API documents and found that the Logging Interface was shifted to "org.apache.spark.internal" package from "org.apache.spark" package.

Kindly update the same in the class definitions.
