Hi All, I have a problem with broadcasting a serialize class object that returned by another not-serialize class, here is the sample code:
class A extends java.io.Serializable { def halo(): String = "halo" } class B { def getA() = new A } val list = List(1) val b = new B val a = b.getA val p = sc.parallelize(list) // this will fail val bcA = sc.broadcast(a) p.map(x => { bcA.value.halo() }) // this will success val bcA = sc.broadcast(new A) p.map(x => { bcA.value.halo() }) A is a serializable class, where B is not-serialize. If I create a new object A through B method getA(), the map process will failed with exception "org.apache.spark.SparkException: Task not serializable, Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException: $iwC$$iwC$B" I don't know why spark will check if the B class serializable or not, is there a way to code this?
