                               InterruptedException

Get the size of the split, so that the input splits can be sorted by size.

Returns:

the number of bytes in the split

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

getLocations

public abstract String[] getLocations()
                               throws IOException,
                                      InterruptedException

Get the list of nodes by name where the data for the split would be local. The locations do not need to be serialized.

Returns:

a new array of the node nodes.

Throws:

IOException

getLocationInfo

@InterfaceStability.Evolving
public SplitLocationInfo[] getLocationInfo()
                                    throws IOException

Gets info about which nodes the input split is stored on and how it is stored at each location.

Returns:

list of SplitLocationInfos describing how the split data is stored at each location. A null value indicates that all the locations have the data stored on disk.

Throws:

IOException
