My code is as following: System.out.println("Initialize points...");
JavaPairRDD<IntWritable, DoubleArrayWritable> data = sc.sequenceFile(inputFile, IntWritable.class, DoubleArrayWritable.class); RDD<Tuple2<IntWritable, DoubleArrayWritable>> rdd = JavaPairRDD.toRDD(data); JavaRDD<Tuple2<IntWritable, DoubleArrayWritable>> points = JavaRDD.fromRDD(rdd, data.classTag()); points.persist(StorageLevel.MEMORY_ONLY()); int i; for (i=0; i<iterations; i++) { System.out.println("iteration="+i); //points.foreach(new ForEachMapPointToCluster(numDimensions, numClusters)); points.foreach(new VoidFunction<Tuple2<IntWritable, DoubleArrayWritable>>() { public void call(Tuple2<IntWritable, DoubleArrayWritable> tuple) { IntWritable key = tuple._1(); System.out.println("key:"+key.get()); DoubleArrayWritable array = tuple._2(); double[] point = array.getData(); for (int d = 0; d < 20; d ++) { System.out.println(d+":"+point[d]); } } }); } The output is a lot of following, only the last element in the rdd has been output. key:999 0:0.9953839426689233 1:0.12656798341145892 2:0.16621114723289654 3:0.48628049787614236 4:0.476991470215116 5:0.5033640235789054 6:0.09257098597507829 7:0.3153088440494892 8:0.8807426085223242 9:0.2809625780570739 10:0.9584880094505738 11:0.38521222520661547 12:0.5114241334425228 13:0.9524628903835111 14:0.5252549496842003 15:0.5732037830866236 16:0.8632451606583632 17:0.39754347061499895 18:0.2859522809981715 19:0.2659002343432888 key:999 0:0.9953839426689233 1:0.12656798341145892 2:0.16621114723289654 3:0.48628049787614236 4:0.476991470215116 5:0.5033640235789054 6:0.09257098597507829 7:0.3153088440494892 8:0.8807426085223242 9:0.2809625780570739 10:0.9584880094505738 11:0.38521222520661547 12:0.5114241334425228 13:0.9524628903835111 14:0.5252549496842003 15:0.5732037830866236 16:0.8632451606583632 17:0.39754347061499895 18:0.2859522809981715 19:0.2659002343432888 key:999 0:0.9953839426689233 1:0.12656798341145892 2:0.16621114723289654 3:0.48628049787614236 4:0.476991470215116 5:0.5033640235789054 6:0.09257098597507829 7:0.3153088440494892 8:0.8807426085223242 9:0.2809625780570739 10:0.9584880094505738 11:0.38521222520661547 12:0.5114241334425228 13:0.9524628903835111 14:0.5252549496842003 15:0.5732037830866236 16:0.8632451606583632 17:0.39754347061499895 18:0.2859522809981715 19:0.2659002343432888
