------------------------------
Are people working on this currently? I'd be happy to help out perhaps if not.
> Spark runner batch translator to work with Datasets instead of RDDs
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-198
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-198
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: runner-spark
> Reporter: Amit Sela
> Assignee: Amit Sela
>
> Currently, the Spark runner translates batch pipelines into RDD code, meaning
> it doesn't benefit from the optimizations DataFrames (which isn't type-safe)
> enjoys.
> With Datasets, batch pipelines will benefit the optimizations, adding to that
> that Datasets are type-safe and encoder-based they seem like a much better
> fit for the Beam model.
> Looking ahead, Datasets is a good choice since it's the basis for the future
> of Spark streaming as well (Structured Streaming) so this will hopefully lay
> a solid foundation for a native integration between Spark 2.0 and Beam.
