Hello, I'm looking for a solution to use jruby on top of spark. It looks that the work required is quite small. The only tricky point is that I need to make sure that every worker thread has a ruby interpreter initialized. Basically, I need to register a function to be called when each worker thread is created : a thread local variable must be set for the ruby interpreter so that ruby object can be deserialized.
Is there any solution to setup the worker threads before any spark call is made using this thread ? I've found a workaround using a java object that wrap any ruby function like: rdd.map( JavaFuncWrapper.new(ruby_function) ). In the java JavaFuncWrapper, the readObject method used to serialize has been overridden to perform the initialization. I must say that I'm not very confident with this workaround. I would prefer a more straightforward solution. Thanks for your help, Regards, Lionel ----------------------------------------- Moody's monitors email communications through its networks for regulatory compliance purposes and to protect its clients, employees and business and where allowed to do so by applicable law.
