Perinkulam I Ganesh commented on SPARK-6830:
--------------------------------------------

If we cache it locally within RDD, then it can be done as follows:

private val mycache = scala.collection.mutable.Map.empty[String, Long]
 
def newcount(): Long = {
    mycache.getOrElseUpdate("count", sc.runJob(this, Utils.getIteratorSize 
_).sum)
 }

Or do we need to modify the cacheManager code to cache these results along with 
others?

thanks

> We should memoize frequently queried vals in RDD, such as numPartitions, 
> count etc.
> While using SparkR in RStudio, the `count` function seems to be called 
> frequently by the IDE – I think this is to show some stats about variables in 
> the workspace etc. but this is not great in SparkR as we trigger a job every 
> time count is called.
> Memoization would help in this case, but we should also see if there is some 
> better way to interact with RStudio.
