Can you please let me know what is the use of the sliding function in spark with a small example? I have read from many sites but didn't get the basic understanding that why we use this function.

The sliding function is used when you want to have windows to be of a length different than what you slide by. Also sliding is more preferable in such a situation rather than grouping. 

The Sliding function results in an RDD from grouping items of its parent RDD in fixed size block by passing window over them. A window operator is defined by two parameters:-

  •  WindowDuration - the length of the window
  •  SlideDuration - the interval at which the window will slide or move forward

The Signature for the sliding function is as follows:

def sliding(n: Int, step: Int = 1): Repr[immutable.Seq[Out]]
