public class KeyFieldBasedComparator<K,V>
extends WritableComparator
implements Configurable

This comparator implementation provides a subset of the features provided by the Unix/GNU Sort. In particular, the supported features are: -n, (Sort numerically) -r, (Reverse the result of comparison) -k pos1[,pos2], where pos is of the form f[.c][opts], where f is the number of the field to use, and c is the number of the first character from the beginning of the field. Fields and character posns are numbered starting with 1; a character position of zero in pos2 indicates the field's last character. If '.c' is omitted from pos1, it defaults to 1 (the beginning of the field); if omitted from pos2, it defaults to 0 (the end of the field). opts are ordering options (any of 'nr' as described above). We assume that the fields in the key are separated by MRJobConfig.MAP_OUTPUT_KEY_FIELD_SEPERATOR.

Method Detail

setConf

public void setConf(Configuration conf)

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Set the configuration to be used by this object.

Specified by:

setConf in interface Configurable

Overrides:

setConf in class WritableComparator

getConf

public Configuration getConf()

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Return the configuration used by this object.

Specified by:

getConf in interface Configurable

Overrides:

getConf in class WritableComparator

compare

public int compare(byte[] b1,
                   int s1,
                   int l1,
                   byte[] b2,
                   int s2,
                   int l2)

Description copied from class: WritableComparator

Optimization hook. Override this to make SequenceFile.Sorter's scream.

The default implementation reads the data into two WritableComparables (using Writable.readFields(DataInput), then calls WritableComparator.compare(WritableComparable,WritableComparable).

Specified by:

compare in interface RawComparator

Overrides:

compare in class WritableComparator

Parameters:

b1 - The first byte array.

s1 - The position index in b1. The object under comparison's starting index.

l1 - The length of the object in b1.

b2 - The second byte array.

s2 - The position index in b2. The object under comparison's starting index.

l2 - The length of the object under comparison in b2.

Returns:

An integer result of the comparison.

setKeyFieldComparatorOptions

public static void setKeyFieldComparatorOptions(Job job,
                                                String keySpec)

Set the KeyFieldBasedComparator options used to compare keys.

Parameters:

keySpec - the key specification of the form -k pos1[,pos2], where, pos is of the form f[.c][opts], where f is the number of the key field to use, and c is the number of the first character from the beginning of the field. Fields and character posns are numbered starting with 1; a character position of zero in pos2 indicates the field's last character. If '.c' is omitted from pos1, it defaults to 1 (the beginning of the field); if omitted from pos2, it defaults to 0 (the end of the field). opts are ordering options. The supported options are: -n, (Sort numerically) -r, (Reverse the result of comparison)

getKeyFieldComparatorOption

public static String getKeyFieldComparatorOption(JobContext job)
