I'm following some online tutorial written in Python and trying to convert a Spark SQL table object to an RDD in Scala.
The Spark SQL just loads a simple table from a CSV file. The tutorial says to convert the table to an RDD. The Python is products_rdd = sqlContext.table("products").map(lambda row: (float(row[0]),float(row[1]),float(row[2]),float(row[3]), float(row[4]),float(row[5]),float(row[6]),float(row[7]),float(row[8]),float(row[9]),float(row[10]),float(row[11]))) The Scala is *not* val productsRdd = sqlContext.table("products").map( row => ( row(0).toFloat,row(1).toFloat,row(2).toFloat,row(3).toFloat, row(4).toFloat,row(5).toFloat,row(6).toFloat,row(7).toFloat,row(8).toFloat, row(9).toFloat,row(10).toFloat,row(11).toFloat )) I know this, because Spark says that for each of the row(x).toFloat calls, "error: value toFloat is not a member of Any" Does anyone know the proper syntax for this? Thank you
