Hi, I have a RDD with MANY columns (e.g., hundreds), and most of my operation
is on columns, e.g., I need to create many intermediate variables from
different columns, what is the most efficient way to do this?

For example, if my dataRDD[Array[String]] is like below: 

    123, 523, 534, ..., 893 
    536, 98, 1623, ..., 98472 
    537, 89, 83640, ..., 9265 
    7297, 98364, 9, ..., 735 
    ...... 
    29, 94, 956, ..., 758 

I will need to create a new column or a variable as newCol1 =
2ndCol+19thCol, and another new column based on newCol1 and the existing
columns: newCol2 = function(newCol1, 34thCol), what is the best way of doing
this?

I have been thinking using index for the intermediate variables and the
dataRDD, and then join them together on the index to do my calculation:
var dataRDD = sc.textFile("/test.csv").map(_.split(","))
val dt = dataRDD.zipWithIndex.map(_.swap)
val newCol1 = dataRDD.map(x => x(1)+x(18)).zipWithIndex.map(_.swap)
val newCol2 = newCol1.join(dt).map(x=> function(.........))

Is there a better way of doing this?

Thank you very much!
