List of tables is not large , RDD is created on table list to parllelise
the work of fetching tables in multiple mappers at same time.Since time
taken to fetch a table is significant , so can't run that sequentially.
Content of table fetched by a map job is large, so one option is to dump
content to hdfs using filesystem api from inside map function for every few
rows of table fetched.
I cannot keep complete table in memory and then dump in hdfs using below
map function-
JavaRDD<String> tablecontent = tablelistrdd.map(new
Function<String,Iterable<String>>)
{public Iterable<String> call(String tablename){
..make jdbc connection get table data and populate in list and return that..
}
tablecontent .saveAsTextFile("hdfspath");
Here I wanted to create customRDD- whose partitions would be in memory on
multiple executors and contains parts of table data. And i would have
called saveAsTextFile on customRDD directly to save in hdfs.
