In this context, it would be able to create a visitor mapping for each partition. However, I'm looking for the ability to use a single visitor object that will walk over all partitions.
I suppose I could do this if I used coalesce() to combine everything to one partition but that's too much memory in one partition. Am I misinterpreting how to use it?

Beware, though, that any reduce functions need to be associative and commutative.

The driver would like to "visit" each item in the RDD in order, say with a visitor object that invokes visit(item) to modify that visitor's internal state. The visiting is not commutative (e.g. Visiting item A then B makes a different internal state from visiting item B then item A). Items in the RDD also are not necessarily distinct. I've looked into accumulators which don't work because they require the operation to be commutative. Collect() will not work because the RDD is too large; in general, bringing the whole RDD into one partition won't work since the RDD is too large. Is it possible to iterate over the items in an RDD in order without bringing the entire dataset into a single JVM at a time, and/or obtain chunks of the RDD in order on the driver? We've tried using the internal iterator() method. In some cases, we get a stack trace (running locally with 3 threads). I've included the stack trace below.
