org.apache.pig.StoreFunc

org.apache.pig.builtin.JsonStorage

All Implemented Interfaces:

StoreFuncInterface, StoreMetadata, StoreResources

public class JsonStorage
extends StoreFunc
implements StoreMetadata, StoreResources

A JSON Pig store function. Each Pig tuple is stored on one line (as one value for TextOutputFormat) so that it can be read easily using TextInputFormat. Pig tuples are mapped to JSON objects. Pig bags are mapped to JSON arrays. Pig maps are also mapped to JSON objects. Maps are assumed to be string to string. A schema is stored in a side file to deal with mapping between JSON and Pig types. The schema file share the same format as the one we use in PigStorage.

Method Detail

getOutputFormat

public org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.OutputFormat getOutputFormat()
                                                         throws IOException

Description copied from class: StoreFunc

Return the OutputFormat associated with StoreFunc. This will be called on the front end during planning and on the backend during execution.

Specified by:

getOutputFormat in interface StoreFuncInterface

Specified by:

getOutputFormat in class StoreFunc

Returns:

the OutputFormat associated with StoreFunc

Throws:

IOException - if an exception occurs while constructing the OutputFormat

setStoreLocation

public void setStoreLocation(String location,
                             org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job job)
                      throws IOException

Description copied from class: StoreFunc

Communicate to the storer the location where the data needs to be stored. The location string passed to the StoreFunc here is the return value of StoreFunc.relToAbsPathForStoreLocation(String, Path) This method will be called in the frontend and backend multiple times. Implementations should bear in mind that this method is called multiple times and should ensure there are no inconsistent side effects due to the multiple calls. StoreFunc.checkSchema(ResourceSchema) will be called before any call to StoreFunc.setStoreLocation(String, Job).

Specified by:

setStoreLocation in interface StoreFuncInterface

Specified by:

setStoreLocation in class StoreFunc

Parameters:

location - Location returned by StoreFunc.relToAbsPathForStoreLocation(String, Path)

job - The Job object

Throws:

IOException - if the location is not valid.

setStoreFuncUDFContextSignature

public void setStoreFuncUDFContextSignature(String signature)

Description copied from class: StoreFunc

This method will be called by Pig both in the front end and back end to pass a unique signature to the StoreFunc which it can use to store information in the UDFContext which it needs to store between various method invocations in the front end and back end. This method will be called before other methods in StoreFunc. This is necessary because in a Pig Latin script with multiple stores, the different instances of store functions need to be able to find their (and only their) data in the UDFContext object. The default implementation is a no-op.

Specified by:

setStoreFuncUDFContextSignature in interface StoreFuncInterface

Overrides:

setStoreFuncUDFContextSignature in class StoreFunc

Parameters:

signature - a unique signature to identify this StoreFunc

checkSchema

public void checkSchema(ResourceSchema s)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: StoreFunc

Set the schema for data to be stored. This will be called on the front end during planning if the store is associated with a schema. A Store function should implement this function to check that a given schema is acceptable to it. For example, it can check that the correct partition keys are included; a storage function to be written directly to an OutputFormat can make sure the schema will translate in a well defined way. Default implementation is a no-op.

Specified by:

checkSchema in interface StoreFuncInterface

Overrides:

checkSchema in class StoreFunc

Parameters:

s - to be checked

Throws:

IOException - if this schema is not acceptable. It should include a detailed error message indicating what is wrong with the schema.

prepareToWrite

public void prepareToWrite(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.RecordWriter writer)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: StoreFunc

Initialize StoreFunc to write data. This will be called during execution on the backend before the call to putNext.

Specified by:

prepareToWrite in interface StoreFuncInterface

Specified by:

prepareToWrite in class StoreFunc

Parameters:

writer - RecordWriter to use.

Throws:

IOException - if an exception occurs during initialization

putNext

public void putNext(Tuple t)
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: StoreFunc

Write a tuple to the data store.

Specified by:

putNext in interface StoreFuncInterface

Specified by:

putNext in class StoreFunc

Parameters:

t - the tuple to store.

Throws:

IOException - if an exception occurs during the write

storeStatistics

public void storeStatistics(ResourceStatistics stats,
                            String location,
                            org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job job)
                     throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StoreMetadata

Specified by:

storeStatistics in interface StoreMetadata

Parameters:

stats - statistics to be recorded

location - Location as returned by LoadFunc.relativeToAbsolutePath(String, org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path)

                        org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job job)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StoreMetadata

Store schema of the data being written

Specified by:

storeSchema in interface StoreMetadata

Parameters:

schema - Schema to be recorded

public ResourceSchema fixSchema(ResourceSchema s)

getShipFiles

public List<String> getShipFiles()

Description copied from interface: StoreResources

public List<String> getCacheFiles()

Description copied from interface: StoreResources

Allow a StoreFunc to specify a list of files it would like placed in the distributed cache. The default implementation returns null.
