Method Detail

createRecordReader

public RecordReader<LongWritable,Text> createRecordReader(InputSplit split,
                                                 TaskAttemptContext context)

Description copied from class: InputFormat

Create a record reader for a given split. The framework will call RecordReader.initialize(InputSplit, TaskAttemptContext) before the split is used.

Specified by:

createRecordReader in class InputFormat<LongWritable,Text>

Parameters:

split - the split to be read

context - the information about the task

Returns:

a new record reader

isSplitable

protected boolean isSplitable(JobContext context,
                  Path file)

Description copied from class: FileInputFormat

Is the given filename splitable? Usually, true, but if the file is stream compressed, it will not be. FileInputFormat implementations can override this and return false to ensure that individual input files are never split-up so that Mappers process entire files.

Overrides:

isSplitable in class FileInputFormat<LongWritable,Text>

Parameters:

context - the job context

file - the file name to check

Returns:

is this file splitable?
