Core Spark functionality.
Core Spark functionality. org.apache.spark.SparkContext serves as the main entry point to Spark, while org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD is the data type representing a distributed collection, and provides most parallel operations.
In addition, org.apache.spark.rdd.PairRDDFunctions contains operations available only on RDDs
of key-value pairs, such as groupByKey and join; org.apache.spark.rdd.DoubleRDDFunctions
contains operations available only on RDDs of Doubles; and
org.apache.spark.rdd.SequenceFileRDDFunctions contains operations available on RDDs that can
be saved as SequenceFiles. These operations are automatically available on any RDD of the right
type (e.g. RDD[(Int, Int)] through implicit conversions.
Java programmers should reference the org.apache.spark.api.java package for Spark programming APIs in Java.
