Description copied from interface: OutputFormat

Get the RecordWriter for the given job.

Specified by:

getRecordWriter in interface OutputFormat<K,V>

Overrides:

getRecordWriter in class FilterOutputFormat<K,V>

job - configuration for the job whose output is being written.

name - the unique name for this part of the output.

progress - mechanism for reporting progress while writing to file.

Returns:

Throws:

IOException

checkOutputSpecs

public void checkOutputSpecs(FileSystem ignored,
                             JobConf job)
                      throws IOException

Description copied from interface: OutputFormat

Check for validity of the output-specification for the job.

This is to validate the output specification for the job when it is a job is submitted. Typically checks that it does not already exist, throwing an exception when it already exists, so that output is not overwritten.

Specified by:

checkOutputSpecs in interface OutputFormat<K,V>

Overrides:

checkOutputSpecs in class FilterOutputFormat<K,V>

job - job configuration.

Throws:

IOException - when output should not be attempted
