Patrick Wendell commented on SPARK-2171: ---------------------------------------- That's pretty cool! So if I understand correctly, does this mean that Spark works "out of the box" in Groovy? Or are there modifications you are proposing in this JIRA? > Groovy bindings for Spark > ------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-2171 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2171 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build, Documentation, Examples > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Artur Andrzejak > Priority: Minor > Attachments: Groovy4Spark - Introduction.pdf, > examples-Groovy4Spark.zip > > > A simple way to add Groovy bindings to Spark, without additional code. > The idea is to use the standard java implementations of RDD and > Context and to use the coercion of Groovy closure to abstract classes > to call all methods, which take anonymous inner classes in Java, with a > closure. > Advantages: > - No need for new code, which avoids unnecessary bugs and implementation > effort > - Access to spark from Groovy with the ease of closures using the > default Java implementations > - No need to install additional software -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
