Method Detail

getSplits

public List<InputSplit> getSplits(JobContext job)
                           throws IOException,
                                  InterruptedException

Description copied from class: InputFormat

Logically split the set of input files for the job.

Each InputSplit is then assigned to an individual Mapper for processing.

Note: The split is a logical split of the inputs and the input files are not physically split into chunks. For e.g. a split could be <input-file-path, start, offset> tuple. The InputFormat also creates the RecordReader to read the InputSplit.

Specified by:

getSplits in class InputFormat<K,V>

Parameters:

job - job configuration.

Returns:

an array of InputSplits for the job.

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

createRecordReader

public RecordReader<K,V> createRecordReader(InputSplit split,
                                            TaskAttemptContext context)
                                     throws IOException,
                                            InterruptedException

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<K,V>

Parameters:

split - the split to be read

context - the information about the task

Returns:

a new record reader

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException
