We are working with Spark Standalone Cluster with 8 Cores and 32GB Ram, with 3 nodes cluster with same configuration.

Some times streaming batch completed in less than 1sec. some times it takes more than 10 secs at that time below log will appears in console.

Change the spark-submit master from local to local[2]

spark-submit --master local[2] --class YOURPROGRAM YOUR.jar

Or set

new SparkConf().setAppName("SparkStreamingExample").setMaster("local[2]")

If you still facing the same problem after changing the number to 2, maybe you should just change it to a bigger number.

Reference: http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/streaming-programming-guide.html

When running a Spark Streaming program locally, do not use “local” or “local[1]” as the master URL. Either of these means that only one thread will be used for running tasks locally. If you are using an input DStream based on a receiver (e.g. sockets, Kafka, Flume, etc.), then the single thread will be used to run the receiver, leaving no thread for processing the received data. Hence, when running locally, always use “local[n]” as the master URL, where n > the number of receivers to run (see Spark Properties for information on how to set the master).

Extending the logic to running on a cluster, the number of cores allocated to the Spark Streaming application must be more than the number of receivers. Otherwise, the system will receive data, but not be able to process them.

I solved this problem by setting master from local to local[2]. Following related quote is from spark streaming doc:

But note that a Spark worker/executor is a long-running task, hence it occupies one of the cores allocated to the Spark Streaming application. Therefore, it is important to remember that a Spark Streaming application needs to be allocated enough cores (or threads, if running locally) to process the received data, as well as to run the receiver(s).

It's not a problem indeed, these INFOs are just log messages which you can avoid by changing log level from INFO to WARN or ERROR in conf/log4j.properties.

Spark Streaming would buffer your input data into small batches and submit the batch of input for execution periodically, therefore not a problem here.
