Greetings! I'm trying to do something similar, and having a very bad time of it. What I start with is key1: (col1, val-1-1, col2: val-1-2, col3: val-1-3, col4: val-1-4...)key2: (col1: val-2-1, col2: val-2-2, col3: val-2-3, col4: val 2-4, ...).... What I want (what I have been asked to produce :-)) is: col1: (key1: val-1-1, key2: val-2-1, key3, val-3-1, ...)col2: (key1: val-1-2, key2: val2-2, key3: val-3-2,...) So basically the transpose. The input is actually avro/parquet with each "key" in one record. In the output, the final step is to convert each column into a "matlab" file.Please don't ask me whether this is a good idea. I can get this to work for smallish data sets (e.g, a few hundred keys and a few hundred columns).However, if I crank up the number of keys to about 5e7, then this fails, even if I turn the number of columns that are actually used down to 10. The system seems to spend lots of time resubmitting parts of the first phase in which the data is read from the original records and shuffled and never quite finishes. I can't post the code, but I can give folks and idea of what I've tried. Try #1: Mapper emits data as (DataKey(col-as-int,key-as-int), value-as-Option[Any]), then create a ShuffledRDD using the col-as-int for partitioning and then "SetKeyOrdering" on the key-as-int. This is then fed to "mapPartitionWithIndex". Try #2: Emit (col-as-int, (key-as-int, value)) and groupBy, and have a final "map()" on each "col". Try #3: Emit (col-as-t, Collection[(key-as-int, value)]), then have a reduceByKey which takes the "union" of the collection (union for set, ++ for list) then havea final map() which attempts the final conversion. No matter what I do, it works for for "small" numbers of keys (hundreds), but when I crank it up, it seems to sit there resubmitting the shuffle phase. Happy holidays, all!-Mike
