Spark : Read file only if the path exists

Question

I am trying to read the files present at Sequence of Paths in scala. Below is the sample (pseudo) code:

val paths = Seq[String] //Seq of paths
v         


        

Answer 1

How about filtering the paths firstly`:

paths.filter(f => new java.io.File(f).exists)

For instance:

Seq("/tmp", "xx").filter(f => new java.io.File(f).exists)
// res18: List[String] = List(/tmp)
