Hello fellow developers, Thanks TD for relevant pointers.
I have created an issue : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3660 Copying the description from JIRA: " How to initialize state tranformation updateStateByKey? I have word counts from previous spark-submit run, and want to load that in next spark-submit job to start counting over that. One proposal is to add following argument to updateStateByKey methods. initial : Option [RDD [(K, S)]] = None This will maintain the backward compatibility as well. I have a working code as well. This thread started on spark-user list at: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/How-to-initialize-updateStateByKey-operation-td14772.html " Please let me know if I shall add a parameter "initial : Option [RDD [(K, S)]] = None" to all updateStateByKey methods or create new ones?
