All Implemented Interfaces:

Writable

public class FileSplit
extends InputSplit
implements Writable

A section of an input file. Returned by InputFormat.getSplits(JobContext) and passed to InputFormat.createRecordReader(InputSplit,TaskAttemptContext).

Constructor Summary

FileSplit(Path file, long start, long length, String[] hosts)
Constructs a split with host information

Method Summary

long	getLength() The number of bytes in the file to process.
String[]	getLocations() Get the list of nodes by name where the data for the split would be local.
Path	getPath() The file containing this split's data.
long	getStart() The position of the first byte in the file to process.
void	readFields(DataInput in) Deserialize the fields of this object from in.
String	toString()
void	write(DataOutput out) Serialize the fields of this object to out.

Constructor Detail

FileSplit

public FileSplit(Path file,
                 long start,
                 long length,
                 String[] hosts)

Constructs a split with host information

Parameters:

file - the file name

start - the position of the first byte in the file to process

length - the number of bytes in the file to process

hosts - the list of hosts containing the block, possibly null

Method Detail

getPath

public Path getPath()

The file containing this split's data.

getStart

public long getStart()

The position of the first byte in the file to process.

getLength

public long getLength()

The number of bytes in the file to process.

Specified by:

getLength in class InputSplit

Returns:

the number of bytes in the split

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Writable

Serialize the fields of this object to out.

Specified by:

write in interface Writable

Parameters:

out - DataOuput to serialize this object into.

Throws:

IOException

readFields

public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Writable

Deserialize the fields of this object from in.

For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.

Specified by:

readFields in interface Writable

Parameters:

in - DataInput to deseriablize this object from.

Throws:

IOException

getLocations

public String[] getLocations()
                      throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputSplit

Get the list of nodes by name where the data for the split would be local. The locations do not need to be serialized.

Specified by:

getLocations in class InputSplit

Returns:

a new array of the node nodes.

Throws:

IOException
