Re: Why is RDD to PairRDDFunctions only via implicits?

The (crude) proof of concept seems to work: class RDD[V](value: List[V]){ def doStuff = println("I'm doing stuff") } object RDD{ implicit def toPair[V](x:RDD[V]) = new PairRDD(List((1,2))) } class PairRDD[K,V](value: List[(K,V)]) extends RDD (value){ def doPairs = println("I'm using pairs"

Re: Why is RDD to PairRDDFunctions only via implicits?

I'm not sure if it is possible to overload the map function twice, once for just KV pairs, and another for K and V separately. On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 10:26 AM, Justin Pihony wrote: > This ticket improved > the RDD API, but it could be even mor

Why is RDD to PairRDDFunctions only via implicits?

This ticket improved the RDD API, but it could be even more discoverable if made available via the API directly. I assume this was originally an omission that now needs to be kept for backwards compatibility, but would any of the repo owners be ope
