Requirement :
There is a Map in scala which is being used by one of your application ,which have all the configurations for your spark app. you need to remove some of conf in Map.
![]()
Solution :
Step 1: Creation of Map
Map is the combination of key value pair.
Let’s create one Map named as myconf
var my_conf=Map("url"->"bigdataprogrammers.com","type"->"tutorials","lang"->"scala","page"->"scala-tutorials")here keys are url,type ,lang and page and corresponding values are written next to this symbol (->)
![]()
Step 2: Accessing values of Map
once you ‘ve created the Map , you can access the values based on keys .
for example if you want to access url
you can write like my_conf(“url”) where the key is url, this will return the value , in this case value is “bigdataprogrammmers.com”
see the below screenshot:
![]()
Step 3 : Filtering some key,values
Many times you may not need all the keys ,and want to filter out some configuration, so you can use filter in map ,using below command :
my_conf.filter(x => (x._1=="page"))
In above code x is the tuple and we have two values in it , the first is a key and second one is value . To access the key we need to write x._1 and ,because we want to remove on the basis of key , we can use one conditional expression which gives bool result .And then return the new Map based on condition. Here we have removed the pair which has “page” key.
![]()
Step 4 : Assign it to new Map
You can assign it into new Map say new_conf
new_conf=my_conf.filter(x => (x._1!="page"))
![]()
Now If you access on the basis of key “page”, It won’t be available as shown in above screenshot.
