For large objects, it will be more efficient to broadcast it. If your array is small it won't really matter. How many centers do you have? Unless you are finding that you have very large tasks (and Spark will print a warning about this), it could be okay to just reference it directly. On Wed,

Re: Web UI doesn't show some stages

The reason is that some operators get pipelined into a single stage. rdd.map(XX).filter(YY) - this executes in a single stage since there is no data movement needed in between these operations. If you call toDeubgString on the final RDD it will give you some information about the exact lineage.
