Study Notes
Scala Collections
- Scala collections can be mutable or immutable.
- Mutable collections can be updated or extended in place.
- Immutable collections never change; additions, removals, or updates operators return a new collection and leave the old collection unchanged.
RDD Operations
- There are two types of operations:
- Transformations: used to build the logical plan for an RDD
- Actions: trigger the computation of an RDD
Transformations
- Transformations create a new RDD from an existing one.
- All transformations are lazy, meaning they do not compute their results immediately.
- Transformations are only computed when an action requires a result to be returned to the driver program.
Generic RDD Transformations
- The map transformation applies a given function to each RDD record independently.
Lineage
- Lineage refers to the chain of transformations used to build an RDD.
- RDDs are stored as a chain of objects capturing the lineage of each RDD.
Key-Value RDD Transformations
- Key-value RDDs are pairs, where k is the key and v is the value.
- To create a key-value RDD, simply map over the current RDD to create a basic key-value structure.
Key-Value RDD Transformations - Aggregation
- The aggregateByKey method aggregates the values associated with each key.
- To use the aggregateByKey method, define a function that sums up the values for each key.
