Method Detail

getSplits

public InputSplit[] getSplits(JobConf conf,
                              int numSplits)
                       throws IOException

Description copied from interface: 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.

Specified by:

getSplits in interface InputFormat<K,V>

Parameters:

conf - job configuration.

numSplits - the desired number of splits, a hint.

Returns:

an array of InputSplits for the job.

Throws:

IOException

getRecordReader

public RecordReader<K,V> getRecordReader(InputSplit split,
                                         JobConf conf,
                                         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<K,V>

Parameters:

split - the InputSplit

conf - the job that this split belongs to

Returns:

a RecordReader

Throws:

IOException
