API Reference

A node.js version of Spark, without hadoop or jvm.

You should read tutorial first, then you can learn Spark but use this project instead.

Async API & deferred API

Any api that requires a RDD and generate a result is async, like count, take, max ... Any api that creates a RDD is deferred API, which is not async, so you can chain them like this:

await dcc
  .parallelize([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
  .map(v => v + 1)
  .filter(v => v % 2 === 0)
  .take(10); // take is not deferred api but async
