Hi, You can also use any path pattern as defined here: http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.2.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#globStatus%28org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path%29
e.g.: sc.textFile('{/path/to/file1,/path/to/file2}') Christophe. On 29/04/2014 05:07, Nicholas Chammas wrote: Not that I know of. We were discussing it on another thread and it came up. I think if you look up the Hadoop FileInputFormat API (which Spark uses) you'll see it mentioned there in the docs. http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.2.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FileInputFormat.html But that's not obvious.

For example: sc.textFile('/path/to/file1,/path/to/file2') So once you have your list of files, concatenate their paths like that and pass the single string to textFile().

I need to walk a dir tree, match a regex to create a list of files, then I’d like to read them into a single RDD in parallel. I understand these could go into separate RDDs then a union RDD can be created. Is there a way to create a single RDD from a URI list? ________________________________ Kelkoo SAS Société par Actions Simplifiée Au capital de € 4.168.964,30 Siège social : 8, rue du Sentier 75002 Paris 425 093 069 RCS Paris Ce message et les pièces jointes sont confidentiels et établis à l'attention exclusive de leurs destinataires.
