I think you should also just be able to provide an input format that never
splits the input data. This has come up before on the list, but I couldn't
find it.*
I think this should work, but I can't try it out at the moment. Can you
please try and let us know if it works?
class TextFormatNoSplits extends TextInputFormat {
override def isSplitable(fs: FileSystem, file: Path): Boolean = false
}
def textFileNoSplits(sc: SparkContext, path: String): RDD[String] = {
//note this is just a copy of sc.textFile, with a different
InputFormatClass
sc.hadoopFile(path, classOf[TextFormatNoSplits], classOf[LongWritable],
classOf[Text]).map(pair => pair._2.toString).setName(path)
}
* yes I realize the irony given the recent discussion about mailing list
vs. stackoverflow ...
