Hi, All,
I am trying to access a Map from RDDs that are on different compute nodes, but without success. The Map is like: val map1 = Map("aa"->1,"bb"->2,"cc"->3,...) All RDDs will have to check against it to see if the key is in the Map or not, so seems I have to make the Map itself global, the problem is that if the Map is stored as RDDs and spread across the different nodes, each node will only see a piece of the Map and the info will not be complete to check against the Map( an then replace the key with the corresponding value) E,g: val matchs= Vecs.map(term=>term.map{case (a,b)=>(map1(a),b)}) But if the Map is not an RDD, how to share it like sc.broadcast(map1) Any idea about this? Thanks! Cheers, Dan
