Class FileInputFormat<K,V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

CombineFileInputFormat, KeyValueTextInputFormat, NLineInputFormat, SequenceFileInputFormat, TextInputFormat

public abstract class FileInputFormat<K,V>
extends InputFormat<K,V>

A base class for file-based InputFormats.

FileInputFormat is the base class for all file-based InputFormats. This provides a generic implementation of getSplits(JobContext). Subclasses of FileInputFormat can also override the isSplitable(JobContext, Path) method to ensure input-files are not split-up and are processed as a whole by Mappers.

Method Detail

getFormatMinSplitSize

protected long getFormatMinSplitSize()

Get the lower bound on split size imposed by the format.

Returns:

the number of bytes of the minimal split for this format

isSplitable

protected boolean isSplitable(JobContext context,
                              Path filename)

Is the given filename splitable? Usually, true, but if the file is stream compressed, it will not be. FileInputFormat implementations can override this and return false to ensure that individual input files are never split-up so that Mappers process entire files.

Parameters:

context - the job context

filename - the file name to check

Returns:

is this file splitable?

setInputPathFilter

public static void setInputPathFilter(Job job,
                                      Class<? extends PathFilter> filter)

Set a PathFilter to be applied to the input paths for the map-reduce job.

Parameters:

job - the job to modify

filter - the PathFilter class use for filtering the input paths.

setMinInputSplitSize

public static void setMinInputSplitSize(Job job,
                                        long size)

Set the minimum input split size

Parameters:

job - the job to modify

size - the minimum size

getMinSplitSize

public static long getMinSplitSize(JobContext job)

Get the minimum split size

Parameters:

job - the job

Returns:

the minimum number of bytes that can be in a split

setMaxInputSplitSize

public static void setMaxInputSplitSize(Job job,
                                        long size)

Set the maximum split size

Parameters:

job - the job to modify

size - the maximum split size

getMaxSplitSize

public static long getMaxSplitSize(JobContext context)

Get the maximum split size.

Parameters:

context - the job to look at.

Returns:

the maximum number of bytes a split can include

getInputPathFilter

public static PathFilter getInputPathFilter(JobContext context)

Get a PathFilter instance of the filter set for the input paths.

Returns:

the PathFilter instance set for the job, NULL if none has been set.

listStatus

protected List<FileStatus> listStatus(JobContext job)
                               throws IOException

Returns:

array of FileStatus objects

Throws:

IOException - if zero items.

getSplits

public List<InputSplit> getSplits(JobContext job)
                           throws IOException
