View RDD contents in Python Spark?

Question

Running a simple app in pyspark.

f = sc.textFile(\"README.md\")
wc = f.flatMap(lambda x: x.split(\' \')).map(lambda x: (x, 1)).reduceByKey(add)

Answer 1

In Spark 2.0 (I didn't tested with earlier versions). Simply:

print myRDD.take(n)

Where n is the number of lines and myRDD is wc in your case.
