I want to map over a Cassandra table in Spark but my code that executes needs a shutdown() call to return any threads, release file handles, etc.
Will spark always execute my mappers as a forked process? And if so how do I handle threads preventing the JVM from terminating. It would be nice if there was a way to clean up after yourself gracefully in map jobs but I don’t think that exists right now. -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile <https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com>
