# map(func)

### map(func)

Return a new DStream by passing each element of the source DStream through a function func.

```
    val wordCounts = words.map(x => (x, 1)).reduceByKey(_ + _)

```

### flatMap(func)

Similar to map, but each input item can be mapped to 0 or more output items.  

```
//split words from line separated by space, such as sentence
    val lines = ssc.socketTextStream("localhost", 29999
      , StorageLevel.MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER)
    val words = lines.flatMap(_.split(" "))

```

There are choises of StorageLevel:

```
DISK_ONLY = StorageLevel(True, False, False, False, 1)
DISK_ONLY_2 = StorageLevel(True, False, False, False, 2)
MEMORY_AND_DISK = StorageLevel(True, True, False, False, 1)
MEMORY_AND_DISK_2 = StorageLevel(True, True, False, False, 2)
MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER = StorageLevel(True, True, False, False, 1)
MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER_2 = StorageLevel(True, True, False, False, 2)
MEMORY_ONLY = StorageLevel(False, True, False, False, 1)
MEMORY_ONLY_2 = StorageLevel(False, True, False, False, 2)
MEMORY_ONLY_SER = StorageLevel(False, True, False, False, 1)
MEMORY_ONLY_SER_2 = StorageLevel(False, True, False, False, 2)
OFF_HEAP = StorageLevel(True, True, True, False, 1)
(2 means RDD partitions will have replication of 2)
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://george-jen.gitbook.io/data-science-and-apache-spark/map-func.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
