• createRecordReader

  public org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.RecordReader<ImmutableBytesWritable,Result> createRecordReader(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputSplit split,
                                                                                           org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.TaskAttemptContext context)
                                                                                             throws IOException,
                                                                                                    InterruptedException

  Builds a TableRecordReader. If no TableRecordReader was provided, uses the default.

  Specified by:

  createRecordReader in class org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputFormat<ImmutableBytesWritable,Result>

  Parameters:

  split - The split to work with.

  context - The current context.

  Returns:

  The newly created record reader.

  Throws:

  IOException - When creating the reader fails.

  InterruptedException - when record reader initialization fails

  InputFormat.createRecordReader( org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputSplit, org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.TaskAttemptContext)

• getSplits

  public List<org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputSplit> getSplits(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobContext context)
                                                         throws IOException

  Calculates the splits that will serve as input for the map tasks. The number of splits matches the number of regions in a table.

  Specified by:

  getSplits in class org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputFormat<ImmutableBytesWritable,Result>

  Parameters:

  context - The current job context.

  Returns:

  The list of input splits.

  Throws:

  IOException - When creating the list of splits fails.

  See Also:

  InputFormat.getSplits(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobContext)

• includeRegionInSplit

  protected boolean includeRegionInSplit(byte[] startKey,
                             byte[] endKey)

  Test if the given region is to be included in the InputSplit while splitting the regions of a table.

  This optimization is effective when there is a specific reasoning to exclude an entire region from the M-R job, (and hence, not contributing to the InputSplit), given the start and end keys of the same.
  Useful when we need to remember the last-processed top record and revisit the [last, current) interval for M-R processing, continuously. In addition to reducing InputSplits, reduces the load on the region server as well, due to the ordering of the keys.
  
  Note: It is possible that endKey.length() == 0 , for the last (recent) region.
  Override this method, if you want to bulk exclude regions altogether from M-R. By default, no region is excluded( i.e. all regions are included).

  Parameters:

  startKey - Start key of the region

  endKey - End key of the region

  Returns:

  true, if this region needs to be included as part of the input (default).

• getScans

  protected List<Scan> getScans()

  Allows subclasses to get the list of Scan objects.

• setScans

  protected void setScans(List<Scan> scans)

  Allows subclasses to set the list of Scan objects.

  Parameters:

  scans - The list of Scan used to define the input

• setTableRecordReader

  protected void setTableRecordReader(TableRecordReader tableRecordReader)

  Allows subclasses to set the TableRecordReader.

  Parameters:

  tableRecordReader - A different TableRecordReader implementation.
