Class CsvOutputFormat<T extends Tuple>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.api.common.io.FileOutputFormat<T>

org.apache.flink.api.java.io.CsvOutputFormat<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CleanupWhenUnsuccessful, InitializeOnMaster, OutputFormat<T>, InputTypeConfigurable

public class CsvOutputFormat<T extends Tuple>
extends FileOutputFormat<T>
implements InputTypeConfigurable

This is an OutputFormat to serialize Tuples to text. The output is structured by record delimiters and field delimiters as common in CSV files. Record delimiter separate records from each other ('\n' is common). Field delimiters separate fields within a record.

Constructor Detail

CsvOutputFormat

public CsvOutputFormat(Path outputPath)

Creates an instance of CsvOutputFormat. Lines are separated by the newline character '\n', fields are separated by ','.

Parameters:

outputPath - The path where the CSV file is written.

CsvOutputFormat

public CsvOutputFormat(Path outputPath,
                       String fieldDelimiter)

Creates an instance of CsvOutputFormat. Lines are separated by the newline character '\n', fields by the given field delimiter.

Parameters:

outputPath - The path where the CSV file is written.

fieldDelimiter - The delimiter that is used to separate fields in a tuple.

CsvOutputFormat

public CsvOutputFormat(Path outputPath,
                       String recordDelimiter,
                       String fieldDelimiter)

Creates an instance of CsvOutputFormat.

Parameters:

outputPath - The path where the CSV file is written.

recordDelimiter - The delimiter that is used to separate the tuples.

fieldDelimiter - The delimiter that is used to separate fields in a tuple.

Method Detail

setAllowNullValues

public void setAllowNullValues(boolean allowNulls)

Configures the format to either allow null values (writing an empty field), or to throw an exception when encountering a null field.

by default, null values are allowed.

Parameters:

allowNulls - Flag to indicate whether the output format should accept null values.

setCharsetName

public void setCharsetName(String charsetName)

Sets the charset with which the CSV strings are written to the file. If not specified, the output format uses the systems default character encoding.

Parameters:

charsetName - The name of charset to use for encoding the output.

setQuoteStrings

public void setQuoteStrings(boolean quoteStrings)

Configures whether the output format should quote string values. String values are fields of type String and StringValue, as well as all subclasses of the latter.

By default, strings are not quoted.

Parameters:

quoteStrings - Flag indicating whether string fields should be quoted.

open

public void open(int taskNumber,
                 int numTasks)
          throws IOException

Specified by:

Overrides:

open in class FileOutputFormat<T extends Tuple>

Throws:

IOException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Specified by:

close in interface OutputFormat<T extends Tuple>

Overrides:

Overrides:

toString in class Object

setInputType

public void setInputType(TypeInformation<?> type)

The purpose of this method is solely to check whether the data type to be processed is in fact a tuple type.

Specified by:

setInputType in interface InputTypeConfigurable

Parameters:

type - The data type of the input.
