Hi, answer from another Kevin. I think you may already know it, 'transformation' in spark (http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/programming-guide.html#transformations) will be done in 'lazy' way, when you trigger 'actions'. (http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/programming-guide.html#actions)
So you can use 'collect' - if you need result from memory 'count' - if you need to count 'saveAs ...' - if you need to persist transformed RDD Regards, Kevin On Mon Jan 12 2015 at 6:48:54 PM Kevin Jung [via Apache Spark User List] < ml-node+s1001560n21094...@n3.nabble.com> wrote: > Hi all > Is there efficient way to trigger RDD transformations?
