Is the dictionary read-only? Did you look at http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/programming-guide.html#broadcast-variables ?

We have some pipelines defined where sometimes we need to load potentially large resources such as dictionaries. What would be the best strategy for sharing such resources among the transformations/actions within a consumer? Can they be shared somehow across the RDD's? I'm looking for a way to load such a resource once into the cluster memory and have it be available throughout the lifecycle of a consumer...
