There would be occasions where in we would also need to know the name of the file that we are processing. We can use wholetextfile() which returns a PairRDD of filename and filecontents. wholetextfile() put whole contents of the file in to a single record, which means if we are… Read more »
There would be instances where in we are given a huge xml which contains smaller xmls and we need to extract the same for further processing.We may not be able to parse such Xmls using TextInputFormat, since it considers every line as a record, but in the xml below, our… Read more »
In SPARK 2, datasets do not have api like leftouterjoin() or rightouterjoin() similar to that of RDD.So if we have to join two datasets, then we need write specialized code which would help us in achieving the outer joins. To the join API we need to pass the join type… Read more »
Below is an example of partitioning the data based on custom logic. For writing a custom partitioner we should extend the Partitioner class , and implement the getPartition() method.For this example I have a input file which contains data in the format of <Continent,Country>. I would like to re-partition the… Read more »
