public class FixedLengthInputFormat
extends FileInputFormat<LongWritable,BytesWritable>
implements JobConfigurable

FixedLengthInputFormat is an input format used to read input files which contain fixed length records. The content of a record need not be text. It can be arbitrary binary data. Users must configure the record length property by calling: FixedLengthInputFormat.setRecordLength(conf, recordLength);

or conf.setInt(FixedLengthInputFormat.FIXED_RECORD_LENGTH, recordLength);

Method Detail

setRecordLength

public static void setRecordLength(Configuration conf,
                                   int recordLength)

Set the length of each record

Parameters:

conf - configuration

recordLength - the length of a record

getRecordLength

public static int getRecordLength(Configuration conf)

Get record length value

Parameters:

conf - configuration

Returns:

the record length, zero means none was set

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

getRecordReader

public RecordReader<LongWritable,BytesWritable> 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,BytesWritable>

Specified by:

getRecordReader in class FileInputFormat<LongWritable,BytesWritable>

Parameters:

genericSplit - the InputSplit

job - the job that this split belongs to

Returns:

a RecordReader

Throws:

IOException

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,BytesWritable>

Parameters:

fs - the file system that the file is on

file - the file name to check

Returns:

is this file splitable?
