public class TextInputFormat
extends FileInputFormat<LongWritable,Text>
implements JobConfigurable

An InputFormat for plain text files. Files are broken into lines. Either linefeed or carriage-return are used to signal end of line. Keys are the position in the file, and values are the line of text..

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(JobConf conf)

Description copied from interface: JobConfigurable

Initializes a new instance from a JobConf.

Specified by:

configure in interface JobConfigurable

Parameters:

conf - the configuration

isSplitable

protected boolean isSplitable(FileSystem fs,
                              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:

fs - the file system that the file is on

file - the file name to check

Returns:

is this file splitable?

getRecordReader

public RecordReader<LongWritable,Text> getRecordReader(InputSplit genericSplit,
                                                       JobConf job,
                                                       Reporter reporter)
                                                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: InputFormat

Get the RecordReader for the given InputSplit.

It is the responsibility of the RecordReader to respect record boundaries while processing the logical split to present a record-oriented view to the individual task.

Specified by:

getRecordReader in interface InputFormat<LongWritable,Text>

Specified by:

getRecordReader in class FileInputFormat<LongWritable,Text>

Parameters:

genericSplit - the InputSplit

job - the job that this split belongs to

Returns:

a RecordReader

Throws:

IOException
