abstract class Broadcast[T] extends Serializable with Logging
A broadcast variable. Broadcast variables allow the programmer to keep a read-only variable cached on each machine rather than shipping a copy of it with tasks. They can be used, for example, to give every node a copy of a large input dataset in an efficient manner. Spark also attempts to distribute broadcast variables using efficient broadcast algorithms to reduce communication cost.
Broadcast variables are created from a variable v by calling
org.apache.spark.SparkContext#broadcast.
The broadcast variable is a wrapper around v, and its value can be accessed by calling the
value method. The interpreter session below shows this:
scala> val broadcastVar = sc.broadcast(Array(1, 2, 3)) broadcastVar: org.apache.spark.broadcast.Broadcast[Array[Int]] = Broadcast(0) scala> broadcastVar.value res0: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3)
After the broadcast variable is created, it should be used instead of the value v in any
functions run on the cluster so that v is not shipped to the nodes more than once.
In addition, the object v should not be modified after it is broadcast in order to ensure
that all nodes get the same value of the broadcast variable (e.g. if the variable is shipped
to a new node later).
