public abstract class DataJoinMapperBase
extends JobBase

This abstract class serves as the base class for the mapper class of a data join job. This class expects its subclasses to implement methods for the following functionalities: 1. Compute the source tag of input values 2. Compute the map output value object 3. Compute the map output key object The source tag will be used by the reducer to determine from which source (which table in SQL terminology) a value comes. Computing the map output value object amounts to performing projecting/filtering work in a SQL statement (through the select/where clauses). Computing the map output key amounts to choosing the join key. This class provides the appropriate plugin points for the user defined subclasses to implement the appropriate logic.

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(JobConf job)

Description copied from class: JobBase

Initializes a new instance from a JobConf.

Specified by:

configure in interface JobConfigurable

Overrides:

configure in class JobBase

Parameters:

job - the configuration

generateInputTag

protected abstract Text generateInputTag(String inputFile)

Determine the source tag based on the input file name.

Parameters:

inputFile -

Returns:

the source tag computed from the given file name.

generateTaggedMapOutput

protected abstract TaggedMapOutput generateTaggedMapOutput(Object value)

Generate a tagged map output value. The user code can also perform projection/filtering. If it decides to discard the input record when certain conditions are met,it can simply return a null.

Parameters:

value -

Returns:

an object of TaggedMapOutput computed from the given value.

generateGroupKey

protected abstract Text generateGroupKey(TaggedMapOutput aRecord)

Generate a map output key. The user code can compute the key programmatically, not just selecting the values of some fields. In this sense, it is more general than the joining capabilities of SQL.

Parameters:

aRecord -

Returns:

the group key for the given record

map

public void map(Object key,
                Object value,
                OutputCollector output,
                Reporter reporter)
         throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

reduce

public void reduce(Object arg0,
                   Iterator arg1,
                   OutputCollector arg2,
                   Reporter arg3)
            throws IOException

Throws:

IOException
