For the first one, input.map { case(x,l) => (x, l.reduce(_ + _) ) }
will do what you need. For the second, yes, there's a difference, one is a List the other is a Tuple. See for instance See for instance val a = (1,2,3) a.getClass.getName res4: String = scala.Tuple3 You should look up tuples in the Scala doc as they are not specific to spark, in particular read up about case classes and pattern matching. 2016-01-03 12:00 GMT-08:00 jimitkr <ji...@softpath.net>: > Hi, > > I've created tuples of type (String, List[Int]) and want to sum the values > in the List[Int] part, i.e. the 2nd element in each tuple. > > Here is my list > / val > input=sc.parallelize(List(("abc",List(1,2,3,4)),("def",List(5,6,7,8))))/ > > I want to sum up values in the 2nd element of the tuple so that the output > is > (abc,10) > (def, 26) > > I've tried fold, reduce, foldLeft but with no success in my below code to > calculate total: > / val valuesForDEF=input.lookup("def") > val totalForDEF: Int = valuesForDEF.toList.reduce((x: Int,y: Int)=>x+y) > println("THE TOTAL FOR DEF IS" + totalForDEF)/ > > How do i calculate the total? > > Another query.
