There, the github project is called spark-sql-receiver. It was uploaded to the maven repository using groupId from com.github.imapi artifactId from spark-sqs-receiver_2.10. It is currently in version 1.0.1. In appearance, the github project is actively supported. The following is an example of code shamelessly copied from the README.md project file:
ssc.receiverStream(new SQSReceiver("sample")
.credentials(<key>, <secret>)
.at(Regions.US_EAST_1)
.withTimeout(2))
