Hi
I'm new to spark streaming. I'm currently writing spark streaming application to standardize events coming from Kinesis. As part of the logic, I want to use IP to geo information library or service. My questions: 1) If I would use some REST service for this task, do U think it would cause performance penalty (over using library based solution) 2) If I would use a library based solution, I will have to use some local db file. What mechanism should I use in order to transfer such db file? a broadcast variable? ?Tx, Noam.
