RDD.flatMap(f, preservesPartitioning=False)[source]¶ Return a new RDD by first applying a function to all elements of this RDD, and then flattening the results.
Examples
>>> rdd = sc.parallelize([2, 3, 4]) >>> sorted(rdd.flatMap(lambda x: range(1, x)).collect()) [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3] >>> sorted(rdd.flatMap(lambda x: [(x, x), (x, x)]).collect()) [(2, 2), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 3), (4, 4), (4, 4)]
