Exercise

ReduceBykey and Collect

One of the most popular pair RDD transformations is reduceByKey() which operates on key, value (k,v) pairs and merges the values for each key. In this exercise, you'll first create a pair RDD from a list of tuples, then combine the values with the same key and finally print out the result.

Remember, you already have a SparkContext sc available in your workspace.

Instructions

  • Create a pair RDD named Rdd with tuples (1,2),(3,4),(3,6),(4,5).
  • Transform the Rdd with reduceByKey() into a pair RDD Rdd_Reduced by adding the values with the same key.
  • Collect the contents of pair RDD Rdd_Reduced and iterate to print the output.
