Thank you, but that doesn't answer my general question. I might need to enrich my records using different datasources (or DB's)
So the general use case I need to support is to have some kind of Function that has init() logic for creating connection to DB, query the DB for each records and enrich my input record with stuff from the DB, and use some kind of close() logic to close the connection. I have implemented this kind of use case using Map/Reduce and I want to know how can I do it with spark Thanks On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 6:24 AM, Yanbo Liang <yanboha...@gmail.com> wrote: > You can refer this topic > http://www.mapr.com/developercentral/code/loading-hbase-tables-spark > > > 2014-07-24 22:32 GMT+08:00 Yosi Botzer <yosi.bot...@gmail.com>: > > In my case I want to reach HBase.
