You are already creating an RDD in Java here ;)

However, it's not clear to me why you'd want to make this an RDD. Is the
list of tables so large that it doesn't fit on a single machine? If not,
you may be better off spinning up one spark job for dumping each table in
tables using a JDBC datasource

.
