      org.apache.hadoop.contrib.utils.join.DataJoinReducerBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConfigurable, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Mapper, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reducer

public abstract class DataJoinReducerBase
extends JobBase

This abstract class serves as the base class for the reducer class of a data join job. The reduce function will first group the values according to their input tags, and then compute the cross product of over the groups. For each tuple in the cross product, it calls the following method, which is expected to be implemented in a subclass. protected abstract TaggedMapOutput combine(Object[] tags, Object[] values); The above method is expected to produce one output value from an array of records of different sources. The user code can also perform filtering here. It can return null if it decides to the records do not meet certain conditions.

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

configure

public void configure(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job)

Description copied from class: JobBase

Initializes a new instance from a JobConf.

Specified by:

configure in interface org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConfigurable

Overrides:

configure in class JobBase

Parameters:

job - the configuration

createResetableIterator

protected ResetableIterator createResetableIterator()

The subclass can provide a different implementation on ResetableIterator. This is necessary if the number of values in a reduce call is very high. The default provided here uses ArrayListBackedIterator

Returns:

an Object of ResetableIterator.

reduce

public void reduce(Object key,
                   Iterator values,
                   org.apache.hadoop.mapred.OutputCollector output,
                   org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reporter reporter)
            throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

collect

protected void collect(Object key,
                       TaggedMapOutput aRecord,
                       org.apache.hadoop.mapred.OutputCollector output,
                       org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reporter reporter)
                throws IOException

The subclass can overwrite this method to perform additional filtering and/or other processing logic before a value is collected.

Parameters:

key -

aRecord -

output -

reporter -

Throws:

IOException

combine

protected abstract TaggedMapOutput combine(Object[] tags,
                                           Object[] values)

Parameters:

tags - a list of source tags

values - a value per source

Returns:

combined value derived from values of the sources

map

public void map(Object arg0,
                Object arg1,
                org.apache.hadoop.mapred.OutputCollector arg2,
                org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reporter arg3)
         throws IOException

Throws:

IOException
