Spark Take Function

In Spark, the take function behaves like an array. It receives an integer value (let say, n) as a parameter and returns an array of first n elements of the dataset.

Example of Take function

In this example, we return the first n elements of an existing dataset.

• To open the Spark in Scala mode, follow the below command.

• Create an RDD using the parallelized collection.

• Now, we can read the generated result by using the following command.

• Apply take() function to return an array of elements.

Here, we got the desired output.
