-----------------------------
Thanks [~srowen] and [~hyukjin.kwon], I wasn't aware of either of these
approaches and indeed they suffice for the communities needs. This ticket will
serve for easy googling of others in future.
> wholeTextFilesIterators
> -----------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-22225
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-22225
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Spark Core
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: sam
>
> It is a very common use case to want to preserve a path -> file mapping in an
> RDD, or read an entire file in one go. Especially for unstructured data and
> ETL.
> Currently wholeTextFiles is the goto method for this, but it read the entire
> file into memory, which is sometimes an issue (see SPARK-18965). It also
> precludes the option to lazily process files.
> It would be nice to have a method with the following signature:
> {code}
> def wholeTextFilesIterators(
> path: String,
> minPartitions: Int = defaultMinPartitions,
> delimiter: String = "\n"): RDD[(String, Iterator[String])]
> {code}
> Where each `Iterator[String]` is a lazy file iterator where each string is
> delimited by the `delimiter` field.
