Deleting blank line in rdd

Question

I'm a newbie to spark. I have an RDD which looks likes this

12434|arizona|2016-10-11|000
56783|california|2016-10-12|111

23456|Texas|2016-10-11|234

I am trying to delete the blank line between 2nd and 3rd row. I tried val rdd2=rdd1.filter(x=>x!='\n') but not working. Any suggestions how to resolve this will be helpful

Answer 1

Try:

rdd1.filter(x => !x.isEmpty)
