Method Detail

exec

public java.lang.Boolean exec(Tuple input)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

This callback method must be implemented by all subclasses. This is the method that will be invoked on every Tuple of a given dataset. Since the dataset may be divided up in a variety of ways the programmer should not make assumptions about state that is maintained between invocations of this method.

Specified by:

exec in class EvalFunc<java.lang.Boolean>

Parameters:

input - the Tuple to be processed.

Returns:

result, of type T.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

allowCompileTimeCalculation

public boolean allowCompileTimeCalculation()

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

Whether the UDF should be evaluated at compile time if all inputs are constant. This is applicable for most UDF, however, if a UDF will access hdfs file which is not available at compile time, it has to be false

Overrides:

allowCompileTimeCalculation in class EvalFunc<java.lang.Boolean>

Returns:

Whether or not compile time calculation is allowed, default to false to ensure legacy UDF will get the right behavior
