org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join
Interface ComposableRecordReader<K extends WritableComparable,V extends Writable>

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<ComposableRecordReader<K,?>>, RecordReader<K,V>

All Known Implementing Classes:

InnerJoinRecordReader, JoinRecordReader, MultiFilterRecordReader, OuterJoinRecordReader, OverrideRecordReader, WrappedRecordReader

public interface ComposableRecordReader<K extends WritableComparable,V extends Writable>
extends RecordReader<K,V>, Comparable<ComposableRecordReader<K,?>>

Additional operations required of a RecordReader to participate in a join.

Method Summary

void	accept(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join.CompositeRecordReader.JoinCollector jc, K key) While key-value pairs from this RecordReader match the given key, register them with the JoinCollector provided.
boolean	hasNext() Returns true if the stream is not empty, but provides no guarantee that a call to next(K,V) will succeed.
int	id() Return the position in the collector this class occupies.
K	key() Return the key this RecordReader would supply on a call to next(K,V)
void	key(K key) Clone the key at the head of this RecordReader into the object provided.
void	skip(K key) Skip key-value pairs with keys less than or equal to the key provided.
