Josh Mahonin commented on PHOENIX-1071:
---------------------------------------
Hi Andrew,
It's definitely a starting point. The PIG integration doesn't quite have the
full JDBC feature set yet, so there's a fair bit of client-side processing
necessary that could be handled server-side instead.
The DSL you describe above, including the on-demand save / schema-creation
feature would be an amazing addition. That said, the fact that today we can
read and process a full Phoenix data-set across a Spark cluster is pretty neat.

> Provide integration for exposing Phoenix tables as Spark RDDs

> Key: PHOENIX-1071
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1071
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
>
> A core concept of Apache Spark is the resilient distributed dataset (RDD), a
> "fault-tolerant collection of elements that can be operated on in parallel".
> One can create a RDDs referencing a dataset in any external storage system
> offering a Hadoop InputFormat, like PhoenixInputFormat and
> PhoenixOutputFormat. There could be opportunities for additional interesting
> and deep integration.
> Add the ability to save RDDs back to Phoenix with a {{saveAsPhoenixTable}}
> action, implicitly creating necessary schema on demand.
> Add support for {{filter}} transformations that push predicates to the server.
> Add a new {{select}} transformation supporting a LINQ-like DSL, for example:
> {code}
> // Count the number of different coffee varieties offered by each
> // supplier from Guatemala
> phoenixTable("coffees")
> .select(c =>
> where(c.origin == "GT"))
> .countByKey()
> .foreach(r => println(r._1 + "=" + r._2))
> {code}
> Support conversions between Scala and Java types and Phoenix table data.
