public class FixedLengthInputFormat
extends FileInputFormat<LongWritable,BytesWritable>

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 Details

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

createRecordReader

public RecordReader<LongWritable,BytesWritable> createRecordReader(InputSplit split,
 TaskAttemptContext context)
                                                            throws IOException,
InterruptedException

Description copied from class: InputFormat

Create a record reader for a given split. The framework will call RecordReader.initialize(InputSplit, TaskAttemptContext) before the split is used.

Specified by:

createRecordReader in class InputFormat<LongWritable,BytesWritable>

Parameters:

split - the split to be read

context - the information about the task

Returns:

a new record reader

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

isSplitable

protected boolean isSplitable(JobContext context,
 Path file)

Description copied from class: FileInputFormat

Is the given filename splittable? Usually, true, but if the file is stream compressed, it will not be. The default implementation in FileInputFormat always returns true. Implementations that may deal with non-splittable files must override this method. 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:

context - the job context

file - the file name to check

Returns:

is this file splitable?
