RDD actions are operations that return the raw values, In other words, any RDD function that returns other than RDD[T] is considered as an action in spark programming. In this tutorial,…
Spark defines PairRDDFunctions class with several functions to work with Pair RDD or RDD key-value pair, In this tutorial, we will learn these functions with Scala examples. Pair RDD's are…
RDD Transformations are Spark operations when executed on RDD, it results in a single or multiple new RDD's. Since RDD are immutable in nature, transformations always create new RDD without…
