Class InputFormatBase<K,V>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.accumulo.core.client.mapred.AbstractInputFormat<K,V>

org.apache.accumulo.core.client.mapred.InputFormatBase<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.hadoop.mapred.InputFormat<K,V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AccumuloInputFormat, AccumuloRowInputFormat

public abstract class InputFormatBase<K,V>
extends AbstractInputFormat<K,V>

This abstract InputFormat class allows MapReduce jobs to use Accumulo as the source of K,V pairs.

Subclasses must implement a InputFormat.getRecordReader(InputSplit, JobConf, Reporter) to provide a RecordReader for K,V.

A static base class, RecordReaderBase, is provided to retrieve Accumulo Key/Value pairs, but one must implement its RecordReader.next(Object, Object) to transform them to the desired generic types K,V.

See AccumuloInputFormat for an example implementation.

setAutoAdjustRanges

public static void setAutoAdjustRanges(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job,
                       boolean enableFeature)

Controls the automatic adjustment of ranges for this job. This feature merges overlapping ranges, then splits them to align with tablet boundaries. Disabling this feature will cause exactly one Map task to be created for each specified range. The default setting is enabled. *

By default, this feature is enabled.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop job instance to be configured

enableFeature - the feature is enabled if true, disabled otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

See Also:

setRanges(JobConf, Collection)

getAutoAdjustRanges

protected static boolean getAutoAdjustRanges(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job)

Determines whether a configuration has auto-adjust ranges enabled.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop context for the configured job

Returns:

false if the feature is disabled, true otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

See Also:

setAutoAdjustRanges(JobConf, boolean)

setScanIsolation

public static void setScanIsolation(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job,
                    boolean enableFeature)

Controls the use of the IsolatedScanner in this job.

By default, this feature is disabled.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop job instance to be configured

enableFeature - the feature is enabled if true, disabled otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

isIsolated

protected static boolean isIsolated(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job)

Determines whether a configuration has isolation enabled.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop context for the configured job

Returns:

true if the feature is enabled, false otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

See Also:

setScanIsolation(JobConf, boolean)

setLocalIterators

public static void setLocalIterators(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job,
                     boolean enableFeature)

Controls the use of the ClientSideIteratorScanner in this job. Enabling this feature will cause the iterator stack to be constructed within the Map task, rather than within the Accumulo TServer. To use this feature, all classes needed for those iterators must be available on the classpath for the task.

By default, this feature is disabled.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop job instance to be configured

enableFeature - the feature is enabled if true, disabled otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

usesLocalIterators

protected static boolean usesLocalIterators(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job)

Determines whether a configuration uses local iterators.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop context for the configured job

Returns:

true if the feature is enabled, false otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

See Also:

setLocalIterators(JobConf, boolean)

setOfflineTableScan

public static void setOfflineTableScan(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job,
                       boolean enableFeature)

Enable reading offline tables. By default, this feature is disabled and only online tables are scanned. This will make the map reduce job directly read the table's files. If the table is not offline, then the job will fail. If the table comes online during the map reduce job, it is likely that the job will fail.

To use this option, the map reduce user will need access to read the Accumulo directory in HDFS.

Reading the offline table will create the scan time iterator stack in the map process. So any iterators that are configured for the table will need to be on the mapper's classpath.

One way to use this feature is to clone a table, take the clone offline, and use the clone as the input table for a map reduce job. If you plan to map reduce over the data many times, it may be better to the compact the table, clone it, take it offline, and use the clone for all map reduce jobs. The reason to do this is that compaction will reduce each tablet in the table to one file, and it is faster to read from one file.

There are two possible advantages to reading a tables file directly out of HDFS. First, you may see better read performance. Second, it will support speculative execution better. When reading an online table speculative execution can put more load on an already slow tablet server.

By default, this feature is disabled.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop job instance to be configured

enableFeature - the feature is enabled if true, disabled otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

isOfflineScan

protected static boolean isOfflineScan(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf job)

Determines whether a configuration has the offline table scan feature enabled.

Parameters:

job - the Hadoop context for the configured job

Returns:

true if the feature is enabled, false otherwise

Since:

1.5.0

See Also:

setOfflineTableScan(JobConf, boolean)
