Hi Greg, I use something similar to this in my application but not for empty string. So the below example is not tested but it should work.
JavaRDD<String> filteredJavaRDD = example.filter(new Function<String,Boolean>(){ public Boolean call(String arg0) throws Exception { return (!arg0.equals("")); } }); Thanks!
