Hyukjin Kwon resolved SPARK-19353.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
> Support binary I/O in PipedRDD
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-19353
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19353
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sergei Lebedev
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: bulk-closed
>
> The current design of RDD.pipe is very restrictive.
> It is line-based, each element of the input RDD [gets serialized|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/rdd/PipedRDD.scala#L143] into one or more lines. Similarly for the output of the child process, one line corresponds to a single element of the output RDD.
> It allows to customize the output format via {{printRDDElement}}, but not the input format.
> It is not designed for extensibility. The only way to get a "BinaryPipedRDD" is to copy/paste most of it and change the relevant parts.
> These limitations have been discussed on [SO|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27986830/how-to-pipe-binary-data-in-apache-spark] and the mailing list, but alas no issue has been created.
> A possible solution to at least the first two limitations is to factor out the format into a separate object (or objects). For instance, {{InputWriter}} and {{OutputReader}}, following Hadoop streaming API.
> {code}
> trait InputWriter[T] {
> def write(os: OutputStream, elem: T)
> }
> trait OutputReader[T] {
> def read(is: InputStream): T
> }
> {code}
> The default configuration would be to write and read in line-based format, but the users will also be able to selectively swap those to the appropriate implementations.
