Spark: error: value split is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String]
<p>The code snippet I was trying to execute:</p>

<pre><code>val textfile = sc.textFile("small_file.txt")
            val arr = textfile.split(",")
            for (v &lt;- arr) {
                println(v)
</code></pre>

<p>The packages that I included:</p>

<pre><code>import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._
import org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD._
import org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD
</code></pre>

<p>The error that I got:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;console&gt;:54: error: value split is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String]
                val arr = textfile.split(",")
                               ^
</code></pre>

<p>Any lead would be appreciated!!</p>
