I've managed to solve this, but I still don't know exactly why my solution
works:
In my code I was trying to force the Spark to output via:
jsonIn.print();
jsonIn being a JavaDStream<String>.
When removed the code above, and added the code below to force the output
operation, hence the execution:
jsonIn.foreachRDD(new Function<JavaRDD<String>, Void>() {
@Override
public Void call(JavaRDD<String> stringJavaRDD) throws Exception {
stringJavaRDD.collect();
return null;
}
});
It works as I expect, processing all of the 20 files I give to it, instead
of stopping at 16.
