How to convert List to JavaRDD

Question

We know that in spark there is a method rdd.collect which converts RDD to a list.

List f= rdd.collect();
String[] array = f.toArray(new String[f.si         


        

Answer 1

There are two ways to convert a collection to a RDD.

1) sc.Parallelize(collection)
2) sc.makeRDD(collection)

Both of the method are identical, so we can use any of them
