map 与 flatMap 的区别
今天写程序遇到取数据时用map报错，用flatmap就可以正常使用，想分析其原因如下：
通过sc.textFile取文件后先map切割：
scala> val mrdd = line.map(_.split(" "))
mrdd: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[Array[String]] = MapPartitionsRDD[4] at map at :23 查看map函数的返回值——文件中的每一行数据返回了一个数组对象：
scala> mrdd.collect

- Spark 中 map函数会对每一条输入进行指定的操作，然后为每一条输入返回一个对象；
- 而flatMap函数则是两个操作的集合——正是“先映射后扁平化”：
操作1：同map函数一样：对每一条输入进行指定的操作，然后为每一条输入返回一个对象
操作2：最后将所有对象合并为一个对象
