Can't you do something about the format choice? Ask your supplier to deliver another format (ideally avro or sth like this?)? Otherwise you could just create one XML Parser object / node, but sharing this among the parallel tasks on the same node is tricky. The other possibility could be simply more hardware ...

So I could get it as RDD. Right now I am using spark.xml XML.loadstring method inside RDD map function but performance wise I am not happy as it takes 4 minutes to parse XML from 2 million messages in a 3 nodes 100G 4 cpu each environment.

The json data has XML data in couple of key-value paris. Which is the best method to read and parse XML from rdd. Is there any specific xml libraries for spark. Could anyone help on this. Thanks.
