Hello everyone!
I am a new Spark learner and trying to do a task seems very simple. I want to read a text file, save the content to JavaRDD and convert it to Dataframe, so I can use it for Word2Vec Model in the future. The code looks pretty simple but I cannot make it work: SparkSession spark = SparkSession.builder().appName("Word2Vec").getOrCreate(); JavaRDD<String> lines = spark.sparkContext().textFile("input.txt", 10).toJavaRDD(); JavaRDD<Row> rows = lines.map(new Function<String, Row>(){ public Row call(String line){ return RowFactory.create(Arrays.asList(line.split(" "))); } }); StructType schema = new StructType(new StructField[] { new StructField("text", new ArrayType(DataTypes.StringType, true), false, Metadata.empty()) }); Dataset<Row> input = spark.createDataFrame(rows, schema); input.show(3); It throws an exception at input.show(3): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: cannot assign instance of scala.collection.immutable.List$SerializationProxy to field org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD.org$apache$spark$rdd$RDD$$dependencies_ of type scala.collection.Seq in instance of org.apache.spark.rdd.MapPartitionsRDD Seems it has problem converting the JavaRDD<Row> to Dataframe. However I cannot figure out what mistake I make here and the exception message is hard to understand. Anyone can help? Thanks!
