How to convert spark SchemaRDD into RDD of my case class?

Question

In the spark docs it\'s clear how to create parquet files from RDD of your own case classes; (from the docs)

Answer 1

there is a simple method to convert schema rdd to rdd using pyspark in Spark 1.2.1.

sc = SparkContext()  ## create SparkContext
srdd = sqlContext.sql(sql)
c = srdd.collect()  ## convert rdd to list
rdd = sc.parallelize(c)

there must be similar approach using scala.
