Subject: how does sc.textFile translate regex in the input.
To: user@spark.apache.org
I am trying to understand on how spark's sc.textFile() works. I specifically
have the question on how it translates the paths with regex in it.
For example:
files = sc.textFile("hdfs://<server>:<port>/file1/*/*/*/*.txt")
How does it find all the sub-directories and recurses to all the leaf files. ?
Is there any documentation on how this happens ?
