public abstract class RDD<T>
extends java.lang.Object
implements scala.Serializable, Logging
```
A Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD), the basic abstraction in Spark. Represents an immutable, partitioned collection of elements that can be operated on in parallel. This class contains the basic operations available on all RDDs, such as map, filter, and persist. In addition, PairRDDFunctions contains operations available only on RDDs of key-value pairs, such as groupByKey and join; DoubleRDDFunctions contains operations available only on RDDs of Doubles; and SequenceFileRDDFunctions contains operations available on RDDs that can be saved as SequenceFiles. All operations are automatically available on any RDD of the right type (e.g. RDD[(Int, Int)] through implicit.
Internally, each RDD is characterized by five main properties:
- A list of partitions - A function for computing each split - A list of dependencies on other RDDs - Optionally, a Partitioner for key-value RDDs (e.g. to say that the RDD is hash-partitioned) - Optionally, a list of preferred locations to compute each split on (e.g. block locations for an HDFS file)
All of the scheduling and execution in Spark is done based on these methods, allowing each RDD to implement its own way of computing itself. Indeed, users can implement custom RDDs (e.g. for reading data from a new storage system) by overriding these functions. Please refer to the Spark paper for more details on RDD internals.

public RDD<T> coalesce(int numPartitions,
 boolean shuffle,
 scala.math.Ordering<T> ord)
```
 Return a new RDD that is reduced into numPartitions partitions.
 This results in a narrow dependency, e.g. if you go from 1000 partitions to 100 partitions, there will not be a shuffle, instead each of the 100 new partitions will claim 10 of the current partitions.
 However, if you're doing a drastic coalesce, e.g. to numPartitions = 1, this may result in your computation taking place on fewer nodes than you like (e.g. one node in the case of numPartitions = 1). To avoid this, you can pass shuffle = true. This will add a shuffle step, but means the current upstream partitions will be executed in parallel (per whatever the current partitioning is).
 Note: With shuffle = true, you can actually coalesce to a larger number of partitions. This is useful if you have a small number of partitions, say 100, potentially with a few partitions being abnormally large. Calling coalesce(1000, shuffle = true) will result in 1000 partitions with the data distributed using a hash partitioner.
 
 Parameters:

 Returns:
 (undocumented)

 Return an RDD created by piping elements to a forked external process. The print behavior can be customized by providing two functions.
 
 Parameters:
 command - command to run in forked process.

 Returns:

 - treeReduce
```
public T treeReduce(scala.Function2<T,T,T> f,

 - fold
```
public T fold(T zeroValue,
 scala.Function2<T,T,T> op)
```
 Aggregate the elements of each partition, and then the results for all the partitions, using a given associative and commutative function and a neutral "zero value". The function op(t1, t2) is allowed to modify t1 and return it as its result value to avoid object allocation; however, it should not modify t2.
 This behaves somewhat differently from fold operations implemented for non-distributed collections in functional languages like Scala. This fold operation may be applied to partitions individually, and then fold those results into the final result, rather than apply the fold to each element sequentially in some defined ordering. For functions that are not commutative, the result may differ from that of a fold applied to a non-distributed collection.
 
 Parameters:
 zeroValue - (undocumented)
 op - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - aggregate
```
public  U aggregate(U zeroValue,
 scala.Function2<U,T,U> seqOp,
 scala.Function2<U,U,U> combOp,
 scala.reflect.ClassTag evidence$32)
```
 Aggregate the elements of each partition, and then the results for all the partitions, using given combine functions and a neutral "zero value". This function can return a different result type, U, than the type of this RDD, T. Thus, we need one operation for merging a T into an U and one operation for merging two U's, as in scala.TraversableOnce. Both of these functions are allowed to modify and return their first argument instead of creating a new U to avoid memory allocation.
 
 Parameters:
 zeroValue - (undocumented)
 seqOp - (undocumented)
 combOp - (undocumented)
 evidence$32 - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - treeAggregate
```
public  U treeAggregate(U zeroValue,

```
 Aggregates the elements of this RDD in a multi-level tree pattern.
 
 Parameters:

 seqOp - (undocumented)
 combOp - (undocumented)
 evidence$33 - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:

 - count
```
public long count()
```
 Return the number of elements in the RDD.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - countApprox
```
public PartialResult<BoundedDouble> countApprox(long timeout,
 double confidence)
```
 :: Experimental :: Approximate version of count() that returns a potentially incomplete result within a timeout, even if not all tasks have finished.
 
 Parameters:
 timeout - (undocumented)
 confidence - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - countByValue
```
public scala.collection.Map<T,java.lang.Object> countByValue(scala.math.Ordering<T> ord)
```
 Return the count of each unique value in this RDD as a local map of (value, count) pairs.
 Note that this method should only be used if the resulting map is expected to be small, as the whole thing is loaded into the driver's memory. To handle very large results, consider using rdd.map(x => (x, 1L)).reduceByKey(_ + _), which returns an RDD[T, Long] instead of a map.
 
 Parameters:
 ord - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - countByValueApprox
```
public PartialResult<scala.collection.Map<T,BoundedDouble>> countByValueApprox(long timeout,
 double confidence,
 scala.math.Ordering<T> ord)
```
 :: Experimental :: Approximate version of countByValue().
 
 Parameters:
 timeout - (undocumented)
 confidence - (undocumented)
 ord - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - countApproxDistinct
```
public long countApproxDistinct(int p,
 int sp)
```
 :: Experimental :: Return approximate number of distinct elements in the RDD.
 The algorithm used is based on streamlib's implementation of "HyperLogLog in Practice: Algorithmic Engineering of a State of The Art Cardinality Estimation Algorithm", available here.
 The relative accuracy is approximately 1.054 / sqrt(2^p). Setting a nonzero sp > p would trigger sparse representation of registers, which may reduce the memory consumption and increase accuracy when the cardinality is small.
 
 Parameters:
 p - The precision value for the normal set. p must be a value between 4 and sp if sp is not zero (32 max).
 sp - The precision value for the sparse set, between 0 and 32. If sp equals 0, the sparse representation is skipped.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - countApproxDistinct
```
public long countApproxDistinct(double relativeSD)
```
 Return approximate number of distinct elements in the RDD.
 The algorithm used is based on streamlib's implementation of "HyperLogLog in Practice: Algorithmic Engineering of a State of The Art Cardinality Estimation Algorithm", available here.
 
 Parameters:
 relativeSD - Relative accuracy. Smaller values create counters that require more space. It must be greater than 0.000017.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - zipWithIndex
```
public RDD<scala.Tuple2<T,java.lang.Object>> zipWithIndex()
```
 Zips this RDD with its element indices. The ordering is first based on the partition index and then the ordering of items within each partition. So the first item in the first partition gets index 0, and the last item in the last partition receives the largest index.
 This is similar to Scala's zipWithIndex but it uses Long instead of Int as the index type. This method needs to trigger a spark job when this RDD contains more than one partitions.
 Note that some RDDs, such as those returned by groupBy(), do not guarantee order of elements in a partition. The index assigned to each element is therefore not guaranteed, and may even change if the RDD is reevaluated. If a fixed ordering is required to guarantee the same index assignments, you should sort the RDD with sortByKey() or save it to a file.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - zipWithUniqueId
```
public RDD<scala.Tuple2<T,java.lang.Object>> zipWithUniqueId()
```
 Zips this RDD with generated unique Long ids. Items in the kth partition will get ids k, n+k, 2*n+k, ..., where n is the number of partitions. So there may exist gaps, but this method won't trigger a spark job, which is different from zipWithIndex().
 Note that some RDDs, such as those returned by groupBy(), do not guarantee order of elements in a partition. The unique ID assigned to each element is therefore not guaranteed, and may even change if the RDD is reevaluated. If a fixed ordering is required to guarantee the same index assignments, you should sort the RDD with sortByKey() or save it to a file.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - take
```
public java.lang.Object take(int num)
```
 Take the first num elements of the RDD. It works by first scanning one partition, and use the results from that partition to estimate the number of additional partitions needed to satisfy the limit.
 
 Parameters:
 num - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - first
```
public T first()
```
 Return the first element in this RDD.
 
 Returns:

public java.lang.Object takeOrdered(int num,
 scala.math.Ordering<T> ord)
```
 Returns the first k (smallest) elements from this RDD as defined by the specified implicit Ordering[T] and maintains the ordering. This does the opposite of top. For example:
```
 sc.parallelize(Seq(10, 4, 2, 12, 3)).takeOrdered(1)
 // returns Array(2)

 sc.parallelize(Seq(2, 3, 4, 5, 6)).takeOrdered(2)
 // returns Array(2, 3)
 
```
 Parameters:
 num - k, the number of elements to return
 ord - the implicit ordering for T
 
 Returns:
 an array of top elements
 - max
```
public T max(scala.math.Ordering<T> ord)
```
 Returns the max of this RDD as defined by the implicit Ordering[T].
 
 Parameters:
 ord - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 the maximum element of the RDD
 - min
```
public T min(scala.math.Ordering<T> ord)
```
 Returns the min of this RDD as defined by the implicit Ordering[T].
 
 Parameters:
 ord - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 the minimum element of the RDD
 - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()
```
 Returns:
 true if and only if the RDD contains no elements at all. Note that an RDD may be empty even when it has at least 1 partition.
 - saveAsTextFile
```
public void saveAsTextFile(java.lang.String path)
```
 Save this RDD as a text file, using string representations of elements.
 
 Parameters:
 path - (undocumented)
 - saveAsTextFile
```
public void saveAsTextFile(java.lang.String path,
 java.lang.Class<? extends org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.CompressionCodec> codec)
```
 Save this RDD as a compressed text file, using string representations of elements.
 
 Parameters:
 path - (undocumented)
 codec - (undocumented)
 - saveAsObjectFile
```
public void saveAsObjectFile(java.lang.String path)
```
 Save this RDD as a SequenceFile of serialized objects.
 
 Parameters:
 path - (undocumented)
 - keyBy
```
public <K> RDD<scala.Tuple2<K,T>> keyBy(scala.Function1<T,K> f)
```
 Creates tuples of the elements in this RDD by applying f.
 
 Parameters:
 f - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - checkpoint
```
public void checkpoint()
```
 Mark this RDD for checkpointing. It will be saved to a file inside the checkpoint directory set with SparkContext#setCheckpointDir and all references to its parent RDDs will be removed. This function must be called before any job has been executed on this RDD. It is strongly recommended that this RDD is persisted in memory, otherwise saving it on a file will require recomputation.
 - localCheckpoint
```
public RDD<T> localCheckpoint()
```
 Mark this RDD for local checkpointing using Spark's existing caching layer.
 This method is for users who wish to truncate RDD lineages while skipping the expensive step of replicating the materialized data in a reliable distributed file system. This is useful for RDDs with long lineages that need to be truncated periodically (e.g. GraphX).
 Local checkpointing sacrifices fault-tolerance for performance. In particular, checkpointed data is written to ephemeral local storage in the executors instead of to a reliable, fault-tolerant storage. The effect is that if an executor fails during the computation, the checkpointed data may no longer be accessible, causing an irrecoverable job failure.
 This is NOT safe to use with dynamic allocation, which removes executors along with their cached blocks. If you must use both features, you are advised to set spark.dynamicAllocation.cachedExecutorIdleTimeout to a high value.
 The checkpoint directory set through SparkContext#setCheckpointDir is not used.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - isCheckpointed
```
public boolean isCheckpointed()
```
 Return whether this RDD is marked for checkpointing, either reliably or locally.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - getCheckpointFile
```
public scala.Option<java.lang.String> getCheckpointFile()
```
 Gets the name of the directory to which this RDD was checkpointed. This is not defined if the RDD is checkpointed locally.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - creationSite
```
public org.apache.spark.util.CallSite creationSite()
```
 User code that created this RDD (e.g. `textFile`, `parallelize`).
 - scope
```
public scala.Option<org.apache.spark.rdd.RDDOperationScope> scope()
```
 The scope associated with the operation that created this RDD.
 This is more flexible than the call site and can be defined hierarchically. For more detail, see the documentation of {{RDDOperationScope}}. This scope is not defined if the user instantiates this RDD himself without using any Spark operations.
 
 Returns:
 (undocumented)
 - checkpointData
```
public scala.Option<org.apache.spark.rdd.RDDCheckpointData<T>> checkpointData()
```
 - firstParent
```
protected  RDD firstParent(scala.reflect.ClassTag evidence$34)
```
 Returns the first parent RDD
 - parent
```
protected  RDD parent(int j,
 scala.reflect.ClassTag evidence$35)
```
 Returns the jth parent RDD: e.g. rdd.parent[T](0) is equivalent to rdd.firstParent[T]
 - context
```
public SparkContext context()
```
 The SparkContext that this RDD was created on.
 - clearDependencies
```
protected void clearDependencies()
```
 Clears the dependencies of this RDD. This method must ensure that all references to the original parent RDDs is removed to enable the parent RDDs to be garbage collected. Subclasses of RDD may override this method for implementing their own cleaning logic. See UnionRDD for an example.
 - toDebugString
```
public java.lang.String toDebugString()
```
 A description of this RDD and its recursive dependencies for debugging.
 - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
 Overrides:
 
 toString in class java.lang.Object
 - toJavaRDD
```
public JavaRDD<T> toJavaRDD()
```
