Great, I will use mapPartitions instead.
Thanks for the advice,

Also, in general, you can workaround shortcomings in the Java API by
converting to a Scala RDD (using JavaRDD's rdd() method). The API
tends to be much clunkier since you have to jump through some hoops to
talk to a Scala API in Java, though. In this case, JavaRDD's
mapPartition() method will likely be the cleanest solution as Patrick
said.

Can you just call mapPartitions and ignore the result?
