Hi Diana,
Non-text input formats are only supported in Java and Scala right now, where
you can use sparkContext.hadoopFile or .hadoopDataset to load data with any
InputFormat that Hadoop MapReduce supports. In Python, you unfortunately only
have textFile, which gives you one record per line. For JSON, you’d have to fit
the whole JSON object on one line as you said. Hopefully we’ll also have some
other forms of input soon.
If your input is a collection of separate files (say many .xml files), you can
also use mapPartitions on it to group together the lines because each input
file will end up being a single dataset partition (or map task). This will let
you concatenate the lines in each file and parse them as one XML object.
