Gerard is totally correct -- to expand a little more, I think what you want
to do is a solrInputDocumentJavaRDD.foreachPartition, instead of
solrInputDocumentJavaRDD.foreach:
solrInputDocumentJavaRDD.foreachPartition(
new VoidFunction<Iterator<SolrInputDocument>>() {
@Override
public void call(Iterator<SolrInputDocument> docItr) {
List<SolrInputDocument> docs = new ArrayList<SolrInputDocument>();
for(SolrInputDocument solrInputDocument: docItr) {
// Add the solrInputDocument to the list of SolrInputDocuments
docs.add(solrInputDocument);
}
// push things to solr **from the executor, for this partition**
// so for this make sense, you need to be sure solr can handle a bunch
// of executors pushing into it simultaneously.
addThingsToSolr(docs);
}
});
