To add a bit on this one, if you look at RDD.scala in Spark code, you'll see
that both "parent" and "firstParent" methods are protected[spark]. 

I guess, for good reasons, that I must admit I don't understand completely,
you are not supposed to explore an RDD lineage programmatically...

I had a usecase myself and was disappointed to find out about this.

Anyone could enlighten me on the reasons for this restriction?
