Github user mengxr commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/4695#issuecomment-75123777 If we return a `JavaPairRDD`, the user code looks like the following: ~~~ for (Tuple2<Long, Int> assignment: assignments.collect()) { ... assignment._1() ... ... assignment._2() ... } ~~~ With the current setting, this is ~~~ for (Assignment assignment: assignments.toJavaRDD().collect()) { ... assignment.id() ... ... assignment.cluster() ... } ~~~ The latter is more readable to me. There is a cost on the user side if we force using a special class in the input, for example, `Rating` for `ALS` and `Document` for `LDA`. But for return types, the cost is not that high. Well, this is not a strong argument.
