org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileInputFormat<K,V>

org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MultiFileInputFormat<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

InputFormat<K,V>

@InterfaceAudience.Public
 @InterfaceStability.Stable
public abstract class MultiFileInputFormat<K,V>
extends FileInputFormat<K,V>

An abstract InputFormat that returns MultiFileSplit's in getSplits(JobConf, int) method. Splits are constructed from the files under the input paths. Each split returned contains nearly equal content length.
Subclasses implement getRecordReader(InputSplit, JobConf, Reporter) to construct RecordReader's for MultiFileSplit's.

getSplits

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

Description copied from class: FileInputFormat

Splits files returned by FileInputFormat.listStatus(JobConf) when they're too big.

Specified by:

getSplits in interface InputFormat<K,V>

Overrides:

getSplits in class FileInputFormat<K,V>

Parameters:

job - job configuration.

numSplits - the desired number of splits, a hint.

Returns:

an array of InputSplits for the job.

Throws:

IOException

getRecordReader

public abstract RecordReader<K,V> getRecordReader(InputSplit split,
                                                  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<K,V>

Specified by:

getRecordReader in class FileInputFormat<K,V>

Parameters:

split - the InputSplit

job - the job that this split belongs to

Returns:

a RecordReader

Throws:

IOException
