Null values in Date field only when RDD is saved as File.

Hi, I am using a library that parses Ais Messages. My code which follows the simple steps gives me null values in Date field. 1) Get the message from file. 2) parse the message. 3) map the message RDD to only keep the (Date, SomeInfo) 4) take top 100 element. Result = the Date field appears fine

Re: Null values in Date field only when RDD is saved as File.

Correction to my question. (5) should read 5) save the tuple RDD(created at step 3) to HDFS using SaveAsTextFile. Can someone please guide me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Manas - Manas Kar -- View this message in context:
