org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join
Class OverrideRecordReader<K extends WritableComparable,V extends Writable>

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join.CompositeRecordReader<K,V,V>
      extended by org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join.MultiFilterRecordReader<K,V>
          extended by org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join.OverrideRecordReader<K,V>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<ComposableRecordReader<K,?>>, Configurable, ComposableRecordReader<K,V>, RecordReader<K,V>

public class OverrideRecordReader<K extends WritableComparable,V extends Writable>
extends MultiFilterRecordReader<K,V>

Prefer the "rightmost" data source for this key. For example, override(S1,S2,S3) will prefer values from S3 over S2, and values from S2 over S1 for all keys emitted from all sources.

Method Detail

emit

protected V emit(TupleWritable dst)
Emit the value with the highest position in the tuple.

Specified by:
emit in class MultiFilterRecordReader<K extends WritableComparable,V extends Writable>

fillJoinCollector

protected void fillJoinCollector(K iterkey)
                          throws IOException
Instead of filling the JoinCollector with iterators from all data sources, fill only the rightmost for this key. This not only saves space by discarding the other sources, but it also emits the number of key-value pairs in the preferred RecordReader instead of repeating that stream n times, where n is the cardinality of the cross product of the discarded streams for the given key.

Overrides:
fillJoinCollector in class CompositeRecordReader<K extends WritableComparable,V extends Writable,V extends Writable>
Throws:
IOException
