NullPointerException inside RDD when calling sc.textFile

I have a number of CSV files and need to combine them into a RDD by part of
their filenames.

For example, for the below files
$ ls   
20140101_1.csv  20140101_3.csv  20140201_2.csv  20140301_1.csv 
20140301_3.csv 20140101_2.csv  20140201_1.csv  20140201_3.csv 

I need to combine files with names 20140101*.csv into a RDD to work on it
and so on.

I am using sc.wholeTextFiles to read the entire directory and then grouping
the filenames by their patters to form a string of filenames. I am then
passing the string to sc.textFile to open the files as a single RDD.

This is the code I have -

val files = sc.wholeTextFiles("*.csv")
val indexed_files = files.map(a => (a._1.split("_")(0),a._1))
val data = indexed_files.groupByKey

data.map { a =>
  var name = a._2.mkString(",")
  (a._1, name)
}

data.foreach { a =>
  var file = sc.textFile(a._2)
  println(file.count)
}

And I get SparkException - NullPointerException when I try to call textFile.
The error stack refers to an Iterator inside the RDD. I am not able to
understand the error -

15/07/21 15:37:37 INFO TaskSchedulerImpl: Removed TaskSet 65.0, whose tasks
have all completed, from pool

However, when I do sc.textFile(data.first._2).count in the spark shell, I am
able to form the RDD and able to retrieve the count.

Re: NullPointerException inside RDD when calling sc.textFile

Posted by Akhil Das <ak...@sigmoidanalytics.com>.
Did you try:

val data = indexed_files.groupByKey

val *modified_data* = data.map { a =>
  var name = a._2.mkString(",")
  (a._1, name)
}

*modified_data*.foreach { a =>
  var file = sc.textFile(a._2)
  println(file.count)
}


Thanks
Best Regards
