RDD

abstract class RDD[T] extends Serializable with Logging

A Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD), the basic abstraction in Spark. Represents an immutable, partitioned collection of elements that can be operated on in parallel. This class contains the basic operations available on all RDDs, such as map, filter, and persist. In addition, org.apache.spark.rdd.PairRDDFunctions contains operations available only on RDDs of key-value pairs, such as groupByKey and join; org.apache.spark.rdd.DoubleRDDFunctions contains operations available only on RDDs of Doubles; and org.apache.spark.rdd.SequenceFileRDDFunctions contains operations available on RDDs that can be saved as SequenceFiles. All operations are automatically available on any RDD of the right type (e.g. RDD[(Int, Int)] through implicit.

Internally, each RDD is characterized by five main properties:

All of the scheduling and execution in Spark is done based on these methods, allowing each RDD to implement its own way of computing itself. Indeed, users can implement custom RDDs (e.g. for reading data from a new storage system) by overriding these functions. Please refer to the Spark paper for more details on RDD internals.

    Aggregate the elements of each partition, and then the results for all the partitions, using given combine functions and a neutral "zero value".

    Aggregate the elements of each partition, and then the results for all the partitions, using given combine functions and a neutral "zero value". This function can return a different result type, U, than the type of this RDD, T. Thus, we need one operation for merging a T into an U and one operation for merging two U's, as in scala.TraversableOnce. Both of these functions are allowed to modify and return their first argument instead of creating a new U to avoid memory allocation.

  9. def cache(): RDD.this.type

  10. def cartesian[U](other: RDD[U])(implicit arg0: ClassTag[U]): RDD[(T, U)]

    Return the Cartesian product of this RDD and another one, that is, the RDD of all pairs of elements (a, b) where a is in this and b is in other.

  11. def checkpoint(): Unit

    Mark this RDD for checkpointing.

    Mark this RDD for checkpointing. It will be saved to a file inside the checkpoint directory set with SparkContext.setCheckpointDir() and all references to its parent RDDs will be removed. This function must be called before any job has been executed on this RDD. It is strongly recommended that this RDD is persisted in memory, otherwise saving it on a file will require recomputation.

  12. def clearDependencies(): Unit

    Clears the dependencies of this RDD.

    Clears the dependencies of this RDD. This method must ensure that all references to the original parent RDDs is removed to enable the parent RDDs to be garbage collected. Subclasses of RDD may override this method for implementing their own cleaning logic. See org.apache.spark.rdd.UnionRDD for an example.

  14. def coalesce(numPartitions: Int, shuffle: Boolean = false)(implicit ord: Ordering[T] = null): RDD[T]

    Return a new RDD that is reduced into numPartitions partitions.

    Return a new RDD that is reduced into numPartitions partitions.

    This results in a narrow dependency, e.g. if you go from 1000 partitions to 100 partitions, there will not be a shuffle, instead each of the 100 new partitions will claim 10 of the current partitions.

    However, if you're doing a drastic coalesce, e.g. to numPartitions = 1, this may result in your computation taking place on fewer nodes than you like (e.g. one node in the case of numPartitions = 1). To avoid this, you can pass shuffle = true. This will add a shuffle step, but means the current upstream partitions will be executed in parallel (per whatever the current partitioning is).

    Note: With shuffle = true, you can actually coalesce to a larger number of partitions. This is useful if you have a small number of partitions, say 100, potentially with a few partitions being abnormally large. Calling coalesce(1000, shuffle = true) will result in 1000 partitions with the data distributed using a hash partitioner.

  15. def collect[U](f: PartialFunction[T, U])(implicit arg0: ClassTag[U]): RDD[U]

    Return an RDD that contains all matching values by applying f.

    Return approximate number of distinct elements in the RDD.

    The algorithm used is based on streamlib's implementation of "HyperLogLog in Practice: Algorithmic Engineering of a State of The Art Cardinality Estimation Algorithm", available here.

    relativeSD

    Relative accuracy. Smaller values create counters that require more space. It must be greater than 0.000017.

  21. def countApproxDistinct(p: Int, sp: Int): Long

    :: Experimental :: Return approximate number of distinct elements in the RDD.

    :: Experimental :: Return approximate number of distinct elements in the RDD.

    The algorithm used is based on streamlib's implementation of "HyperLogLog in Practice: Algorithmic Engineering of a State of The Art Cardinality Estimation Algorithm", available here.

    The relative accuracy is approximately 1.054 / sqrt(2^p). Setting a nonzero sp > p would trigger sparse representation of registers, which may reduce the memory consumption and increase accuracy when the cardinality is small.

    p

    The precision value for the normal set. p must be a value between 4 and sp if sp is not zero (32 max).

    sp

    The precision value for the sparse set, between 0 and 32. If sp equals 0, the sparse representation is skipped.

    Return the count of each unique value in this RDD as a local map of (value, count) pairs.

    Note that this method should only be used if the resulting map is expected to be small, as the whole thing is loaded into the driver's memory. To handle very large results, consider using rdd.map(x => (x, 1L)).reduceByKey(_ + _), which returns an RDD[T, Long] instead of a map.

  33. def flatMap[U](f: (T) ⇒ TraversableOnce[U])(implicit arg0: ClassTag[U]): RDD[U]

  34. def fold(zeroValue: T)(op: (T, T) ⇒ T): T

    Aggregate the elements of each partition, and then the results for all the partitions, using a given associative and commutative function and a neutral "zero value".

    Aggregate the elements of each partition, and then the results for all the partitions, using a given associative and commutative function and a neutral "zero value". The function op(t1, t2) is allowed to modify t1 and return it as its result value to avoid object allocation; however, it should not modify t2.

    This behaves somewhat differently from fold operations implemented for non-distributed collections in functional languages like Scala. This fold operation may be applied to partitions individually, and then fold those results into the final result, rather than apply the fold to each element sequentially in some defined ordering. For functions that are not commutative, the result may differ from that of a fold applied to a non-distributed collection.

    Return an RDD of grouped items. Each group consists of a key and a sequence of elements mapping to that key. The ordering of elements within each group is not guaranteed, and may even differ each time the resulting RDD is evaluated.

    Note: This operation may be very expensive. If you are grouping in order to perform an aggregation (such as a sum or average) over each key, using PairRDDFunctions.aggregateByKey or PairRDDFunctions.reduceByKey will provide much better performance.

    Note

    due to complications in the internal implementation, this method will raise an exception if called on an RDD of Nothing or Null. This may be come up in practice because, for example, the type of parallelize(Seq()) is RDD[Nothing]. (parallelize(Seq()) should be avoided anyway in favor of parallelize(Seq[T]()).)

    // returns Array(2)
    
    sc.parallelize(Seq(2, 3, 4, 5, 6)).takeOrdered(2)
    // returns Array(2, 3)
    num

    k, the number of elements to return

    ord

    the implicit ordering for T

    returns

    an array of top elements

  103. def takeSample(withReplacement: Boolean, num: Int, seed: Long = Utils.random.nextLong): Array[T]

    Return a fixed-size sampled subset of this RDD in an array

  106. def toLocalIterator: Iterator[T]

    Return an iterator that contains all of the elements in this RDD.

    Return an iterator that contains all of the elements in this RDD.

    The iterator will consume as much memory as the largest partition in this RDD.

    Note: this results in multiple Spark jobs, and if the input RDD is the result of a wide transformation (e.g. join with different partitioners), to avoid recomputing the input RDD should be cached first.

    Zip this RDD's partitions with one (or more) RDD(s) and return a new RDD by applying a function to the zipped partitions.

    Zip this RDD's partitions with one (or more) RDD(s) and return a new RDD by applying a function to the zipped partitions. Assumes that all the RDDs have the *same number of partitions*, but does *not* require them to have the same number of elements in each partition.

  123. def zipWithIndex(): RDD[(T, Long)]

    Zips this RDD with its element indices.

    Zips this RDD with its element indices. The ordering is first based on the partition index and then the ordering of items within each partition. So the first item in the first partition gets index 0, and the last item in the last partition receives the largest index.

    This is similar to Scala's zipWithIndex but it uses Long instead of Int as the index type. This method needs to trigger a spark job when this RDD contains more than one partitions.

    Note that some RDDs, such as those returned by groupBy(), do not guarantee order of elements in a partition. The index assigned to each element is therefore not guaranteed, and may even change if the RDD is reevaluated. If a fixed ordering is required to guarantee the same index assignments, you should sort the RDD with sortByKey() or save it to a file.

  124. def zipWithUniqueId(): RDD[(T, Long)]

    Zips this RDD with generated unique Long ids.

    Zips this RDD with generated unique Long ids. Items in the kth partition will get ids k, n+k, 2*n+k, ..., where n is the number of partitions. So there may exist gaps, but this method won't trigger a spark job, which is different from org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD#zipWithIndex.

    Note that some RDDs, such as those returned by groupBy(), do not guarantee order of elements in a partition. The unique ID assigned to each element is therefore not guaranteed, and may even change if the RDD is reevaluated. If a fixed ordering is required to guarantee the same index assignments, you should sort the RDD with sortByKey() or save it to a file.
