Yeah, saveAsTextFile is an RDD specific method. If you really want to use that method, just turn the map into an RDD:
`sc.parallelize(x.toSeq).saveAsTextFile(...)` Reading through the api-docs will present you many more alternate solutions!

I tried to use countByKey. But I am not able to write the output to console or to a file. Neither collect() nor saveAsTextFile() work for the Map object that is generated after countByKey(). val x = sc.textFile(baseFile)).map { line => val fields = line.split("\t") (fields(11), fields(6)) // extract (month, user_id) }.distinct().countByKey() x.saveAsTextFile(...) // does not work. generates an error that saveAstextFile is not defined for Map object Is there a way to convert the Map object to an object that I can output to console and to a file? thanks -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/OutofMemoryError-when-generating-output-tp12847p13056.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org
