Method Detail

createRecordReader

public <any> createRecordReader(InputSplit split,
                                TaskAttemptContext context)
                         throws java.io.IOException,
                                java.lang.InterruptedException

Builds a TableRecordReader. If no TableRecordReader was provided, uses the default.

Parameters:

split - The split to work with.

context - The current context.

Returns:

The newly created record reader.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - When creating the reader fails.

java.lang.InterruptedException - when record reader initialization fails

getSplits

public java.util.List<InputSplit> getSplits(JobContext context)
                                     throws java.io.IOException

Calculates the splits that will serve as input for the map tasks. The number of splits matches the number of regions in a table.

Parameters:

context - The current job context.

Returns:

The list of input splits.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - When creating the list of splits fails.

See Also:

org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputFormat#getSplits(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobContext)

includeRegionInSplit

protected boolean includeRegionInSplit(byte[] startKey,
                                       byte[] endKey)

Test if the given region is to be included in the InputSplit while splitting the regions of a table.

This optimization is effective when there is a specific reasoning to exclude an entire region from the M-R job, (and hence, not contributing to the InputSplit), given the start and end keys of the same.
Useful when we need to remember the last-processed top record and revisit the [last, current) interval for M-R processing, continuously. In addition to reducing InputSplits, reduces the load on the region server as well, due to the ordering of the keys.

Note: It is possible that endKey.length() == 0 , for the last (recent) region.
Override this method, if you want to bulk exclude regions altogether from M-R. By default, no region is excluded( i.e. all regions are included).

Parameters:

startKey - Start key of the region

endKey - End key of the region

Returns:

true, if this region needs to be included as part of the input (default).

getScans

protected java.util.List<Scan> getScans()

Allows subclasses to get the list of Scan objects.

setScans

protected void setScans(java.util.List<Scan> scans)

Allows subclasses to set the list of Scan objects.

Parameters:

scans - The list of Scan used to define the input

setTableRecordReader

protected void setTableRecordReader(TableRecordReader tableRecordReader)

Allows subclasses to set the TableRecordReader.

Parameters:

tableRecordReader - A different TableRecordReader implementation.
