scala - 如何在RDD中展平列表？

Question

是否可以在 RDD 中展平列表？例如转换:

 val xxx: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[List[Foo]]

到:

 val yyy: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[Foo]

这该怎么做？

Answer 1

val rdd = sc.parallelize(Array(List(1,2,3), List(4,5,6), List(7,8,9), List(10, 11, 12)))
// org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[List[Int]] = ParallelCollectionRDD ...

val rddi = rdd.flatMap(list => list)
// rddi: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[Int] = FlatMappedRDD ...

// which is same as rdd.flatMap(identity)
// identity is a method defined in Predef object.
//    def identity[A](x: A): A

rddi.collect()
// res2: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
