pyspark.SparkContext.range

SparkContext.range(start, end=None, step=1, numSlices=None)

Create a new RDD of int containing elements from start to end (exclusive), increased by step every element. Can be called the same way as python’s built-in range() function. If called with a single argument, the argument is interpreted as end, and start is set to 0.

Parameters:

startint

the start value

endint, optional

the end value (exclusive)

stepint, optional

the incremental step (default: 1)

numSlicesint, optional

the number of partitions of the new RDD

Returns:

pyspark.RDD

An RDD of int

Examples

>>> sc.range(5).collect()
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> sc.range(2, 4).collect()
[2, 3]
>>> sc.range(1, 7, 2).collect()
[1, 3, 5]
