value collectAsMap is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD

Question

I am trying to use collectAsMap() in the following statement:

import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.broadcast.Broadcast
import org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD
...
documents_input.
  filter(_ != documents_header).
  map(_.split(",")).
  map(Document.parse(_)).
  keyBy((_.id)).collectAsMap()

However I am getting the following error:

value collectAsMap is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[(Int, `com.codependent.MyApp.Document)]`

Any idea why or how I could turn the Array into a Map?

Answer 1

Fixed after updating the imports as Ram Ghadiyaram suggested:

import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._
import org.apache.spark.broadcast.Broadcast
import org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD

It depends on how you read the documents_input . If you read it using sparkContext then you should be able to use collectAsMap . But if you have read the documents_input as Source or any other scala api then collectAsMap won't do the trick. In that case you can use toMap
