ClassLoader	getContextOrSparkClassLoader()
ClassLoader	getSparkClassLoader()
boolean	isMemberClass(Class<?> cls)	Returns true if and only if the underlying class is a member class.

Method Details

random

Random random()

getSparkClassLoader

ClassLoader getSparkClassLoader()

getContextOrSparkClassLoader

ClassLoader getContextOrSparkClassLoader()

classForName

<C> Class<C> classForName(String className,
 boolean initialize,
 boolean noSparkClassLoader)

Preferred alternative to Class.forName(className), as well as Class.forName(className, initialize, loader) with current thread's ContextClassLoader.

Parameters:

className - (undocumented)

initialize - (undocumented)

noSparkClassLoader - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

classIsLoadable

boolean classIsLoadable(String clazz)

Determines whether the provided class is loadable in the current thread.

isMemberClass

boolean isMemberClass(Class<?> cls)

Returns true if and only if the underlying class is a member class.

Note: jdk8u throws a "Malformed class name" error if a given class is a deeply-nested inner class (See SPARK-34607 for details). This issue has already been fixed in jdk9+, so we can remove this helper method safely if we drop the support of jdk8u.

Parameters:

cls - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)
