How to find max value in pair RDD

0 votes
I have a spark pair RDD (key, count) as below:

Array[(String, Int)] = Array((a,1), (b,2), (c,1), (d,3))
How to find the key with the highest count using spark?

Note: datatype of pair RDD is org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[(String, Int)]

Use Array.maxBy method:

val a = Array(("a",1), ("b",2), ("c",1), ("d",3))
val maxKey = a.maxBy(_._2)
// maxKey: (String, Int) = (d,3)
or RDD.max:

val maxKey2 = rdd.max()(new Ordering[Tuple2[String, Int]]() {
  override def compare(x: (String, Int), y: (String, Int)): Int = 
      Ordering[Int].compare(x._2, y._2)
})
