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, PairRDDFunctions contains operations available only on RDDs of key-value pairs, such as groupByKey and join; DoubleRDDFunctions contains operations available only on RDDs of Doubles; and SequenceFileRDDFunctions contains operations available on RDDs that can be saved as SequenceFiles. These operations are automatically available on any RDD of the right type (e.g. RDD[(Int, Int)] through implicit conversions when you import spark.SparkContext._.

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.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def compute(split: Partition, context: TaskContext): Iterator[T]

    Implemented by subclasses to compute a given partition.

  2. abstract def getPartitions: Array[Partition]

    Implemented by subclasses to return the set of partitions in this RDD.

    Implemented by subclasses to return the set of partitions in this RDD. This method will only be called once, so it is safe to implement a time-consuming computation in it.

  7. def aggregate[U](zeroValue: U)(seqOp: (U, T) ⇒ U, combOp: (U, U) ⇒ U)(implicit arg0: ClassManifest[U]): U

    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.

  8. final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

  9. def cache(): RDD[T]

    Persist this RDD with the default storage level (MEMORY_ONLY).

  10. def cartesian[U](other: RDD[U])(implicit arg0: ClassManifest[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 UnionRDD for an example.
