Guys, I haven't looked at the full discussion on SPARK-964 yet, but is
there no way to avoid the "of" wrapper? The wrapper seems pretty awkward, and
doesn't make the API *that* much more concise.
One thing we could consider is dropping the type-safety of JavaPairRDD and
such and having all methods available on all RDDs, if there was a way to still
make things like mapValues see the right type.
If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your
reply appear on GitHub as well. To do so, please top-post your response.
If your project does not have this feature enabled and wishes so, or if the
feature is enabled but not working, please contact infrastructure at
infrastruct...@apache.org or file a JIRA ticket with INFRA.
