从输出我们可以看出，对于任意一个RDD x来说，其dependencies代表了其直接依赖的RDDs（一个或多个）。那dependencies又是怎么能够表明RDD之间的依赖关系呢？假设dependency为dependencies成员
- dependency的类型（NarrowDependency或ShuffleDependency）说明了该依赖是窄依赖还是宽依赖
- 通过dependency的
def getParents(partitionId: Int): Seq[Int]方法，可以得到子RDD的每个分区依赖父RDD的哪些分区 - dependency包含RDD成员，即子RDD依赖的父RDD，该RDD的compute函数说明了对该父RDD的分区进行怎么样的计算能得到子RDD的分区
- 该父RDD中同样包含dependency成员，该dependency同样包含上述特点，同样可以通过该父RDD的dependency成员来确定该父RDD依赖的爷爷RDD。同样可以通过
dependency.getParents方法和爷爷RDD.compute来得出如何从父RDD回朔到爷爷RDD，依次类推，可以回朔到第一个RDD
那么，如果某个RDD的partition计算失败，要回朔到哪个RDD为止呢？上例中打印出的dependency.RDD如下：
MapPartitionsRDD[1] at textFile at <console>:21
MapPartitionsRDD[2] at flatMap at <console>:23
MapPartitionsRDD[3] at map at <console>:25
ShuffledRDD[4] at reduceByKey at <console>:27
可以看出每个RDD都有一个编号，在回朔的过程中，每向上回朔一次变回得到一个或多个相对父RDD，这时系统会判断该RDD是否存在（即被缓存），如果存在则停止回朔，如果不存在则一直向上回朔到某个RDD存在或到最初RDD的数据源为止。
