Hi how do we create DataFrame from a binary file stored in HDFS? I was thinking to use
JavaPairRDD<String,PortableDataStream> pairRdd = javaSparkContext.binaryFiles("/hdfs/path/to/binfile"); JavaRDD<PortableDataStream> javardd = pairRdd.values(); I can see that PortableDataStream has method called toArray which can convert into byte array I was thinking if I have JavaRDD<byte[]> can I call the following and get DataFrame DataFrame binDataFrame = sqlContext.createDataFrame(javaBinRdd,Byte.class); Please guide I am new to Spark. I have my own custom format which is binary format and I was thinking if I can convert my custom format into DataFrame using binary operations then I dont need to create my own custom Hadoop format am I on right track? Will reading binary data into DataFrame scale? -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/How-to-create-DataFrame-from-a-binary-file-tp24179.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org
