Method Detail

setUDFContextSignature

public final void setUDFContextSignature(String signature)

Description copied from class: LoadFunc

This method will be called by Pig both in the front end and back end to pass a unique signature to the LoadFunc. The signature can be used to store into the UDFContext any information which the LoadFunc needs to store between various method invocations in the front end and back end. A use case is to store LoadPushDown.RequiredFieldList passed to it in LoadPushDown.pushProjection(RequiredFieldList) for use in the back end before returning tuples in LoadFunc.getNext(). This method will be call before other methods in LoadFunc

Overrides:

setUDFContextSignature in class LoadFunc

Parameters:

signature - a unique signature to identify this LoadFunc

getProperties

protected final Properties getProperties()

Internal function for getting the Properties object associated with this UDF instance.

                                       throws IOException

Description copied from interface: LoadMetadata

Get statistics about the data to be loaded. If no statistics are available, then null should be returned. If the implementing class also extends LoadFunc, then LoadFunc.setLocation(String, org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job) is guaranteed to be called before this method.

Specified by:

getStatistics in interface LoadMetadata

Parameters:

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

job - The Job object - this should be used only to obtain cluster properties through JobContextImpl.getConfiguration() and not to set/query any runtime job information.

Description copied from interface: LoadMetadata

Find what columns are partition keys for this input.

Specified by:

getPartitionKeys in interface LoadMetadata

Parameters:

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

job - The Job object - this should be used only to obtain cluster properties through JobContextImpl.getConfiguration() and not to set/query any runtime job information.

setPartitionFilter

public void setPartitionFilter(Expression partitionFilter)
                        throws IOException

Description copied from interface: LoadMetadata

Set the filter for partitioning. It is assumed that this filter will only contain references to fields given as partition keys in getPartitionKeys. So if the implementation returns null in LoadMetadata.getPartitionKeys(String, Job), then this method is not called by Pig runtime. This method is also not called by the Pig runtime if there are no partition filter conditions.

Specified by:

setPartitionFilter in interface LoadMetadata

Parameters:

partitionFilter - that describes filter for partitioning

Throws:

IOException - if the filter is not compatible with the storage mechanism or contains non-partition fields.

                                  org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path curDir)
                                          throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

This method is called by the Pig runtime in the front end to convert the output location to an absolute path if the location is relative. The StoreFuncInterface implementation is free to choose how it converts a relative location to an absolute location since this may depend on what the location string represent (hdfs path or some other data source). The static method LoadFunc.getAbsolutePath(java.lang.String, org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path) provides a default implementation for hdfs and hadoop local file system and it can be used to implement this method.

Specified by:

relToAbsPathForStoreLocation in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

location - location as provided in the "store" statement of the script

curDir - the current working direction based on any "cd" statements in the script before the "store" statement. If there are no "cd" statements in the script, this would be the home directory -

/user/ 

Returns:

the absolute location based on the arguments passed

Throws:

IOException - if the conversion is not possible

getOutputFormat

public org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.OutputFormat<org.apache.hadoop.io.NullWritable,Object> getOutputFormat()
                                                                                                   throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

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

Specified by:

getOutputFormat in interface StoreFuncInterface

Returns:

the OutputFormat associated with StoreFuncInterface

Throws:

IOException - if an exception occurs while constructing the OutputFormat

setStoreLocation

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

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

Communicate to the storer the location where the data needs to be stored. The location string passed to the StoreFuncInterface here is the return value of StoreFuncInterface.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. StoreFuncInterface.checkSchema(ResourceSchema) will be called before any call to StoreFuncInterface.setStoreLocation(String, Job).

Specified by:

setStoreLocation in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

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

job - The Job object

Throws:

IOException - if the location is not valid.

checkSchema

public final void checkSchema(ResourceSchema rs)
                       throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

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.

Specified by:

checkSchema in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

rs - 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.

setOutputAvroSchema

protected final void setOutputAvroSchema(org.apache.avro.Schema s)

Sets the output avro schema to .

Parameters:

s - An Avro schema

getOutputAvroSchema

                          throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

Initialize StoreFuncInterface to write data. This will be called during execution before the call to putNext.

Specified by:

prepareToWrite in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

w - RecordWriter to use.

Throws:

IOException - if an exception occurs during initialization

putNext

public final void putNext(Tuple t)
                   throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

Write a tuple to the data store.

Specified by:

putNext in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

t - the tuple to store.

Throws:

IOException - if an exception occurs during the write

setStoreFuncUDFContextSignature

public final void setStoreFuncUDFContextSignature(String signature)

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

This method will be called by Pig both in the front end and back end to pass a unique signature to the StoreFuncInterface 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 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.

Specified by:

setStoreFuncUDFContextSignature in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

signature - a unique signature to identify this StoreFuncInterface

cleanupOnFailure

public final void cleanupOnFailure(String location,

Specified by:

cleanupOnFailure in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

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

job - The Job object - this should be used only to obtain cluster properties through JobContextImpl.getConfiguration() and not to set/query any runtime job information.

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

Description copied from class: LoadFunc

Communicate to the loader the location of the object(s) being loaded. The location string passed to the LoadFunc here is the return value of LoadFunc.relativeToAbsolutePath(String, Path). Implementations should use this method to communicate the location (and any other information) to its underlying InputFormat through the Job object. 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.

Specified by:

setLocation in class LoadFunc

Parameters:

location - Location as returned by LoadFunc.relativeToAbsolutePath(String, Path)

job - the Job object store or retrieve earlier stored information from the UDFContext

Throws:

IOException - if the location is not valid.

Description copied from class: LoadFunc

This will be called during planning on the front end. This is the instance of InputFormat (rather than the class name) because the load function may need to instantiate the InputFormat in order to control how it is constructed.

Specified by:

getInputFormat in class LoadFunc

Returns:

the InputFormat associated with this loader.

Throws:

IOException - if there is an exception during InputFormat construction

See Also:

LoadFunc.getInputFormat()

prepareToRead

public final void prepareToRead(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.RecordReader r,

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

Description copied from interface: StoreFuncInterface

This method will be called by Pig if the job which contains this store is successful, and some cleanup of intermediate resources is required. Implementations can clean up output locations in this method to ensure that no incorrect/incomplete results are left in the output location

Specified by:

cleanupOnSuccess in interface StoreFuncInterface

Parameters:

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

job - The Job object - this should be used only to obtain cluster properties through JobContextImpl.getConfiguration() and not to set/query any runtime job information.

IOException

getFeatures

public List<LoadPushDown.OperatorSet> getFeatures()

Description copied from interface: LoadPushDown

Determine the operators that can be pushed to the loader. Note that by indicating a loader can accept a certain operator (such as selection) the loader is not promising that it can handle all selections. When it is passed the actual operators to push down it will still have a chance to reject them.

Specified by:

getFeatures in interface LoadPushDown

Returns:

list of all features that the loader can support

pushProjection

public LoadPushDown.RequiredFieldResponse pushProjection(LoadPushDown.RequiredFieldList rfl)
                                                  throws FrontendException

Description copied from interface: LoadPushDown

Indicate to the loader fields that will be needed. This can be useful for loaders that access data that is stored in a columnar format where indicating columns to be accessed a head of time will save scans. This method will not be invoked by the Pig runtime if all fields are required. So implementations should assume that if this method is not invoked, then all fields from the input are required. If the loader function cannot make use of this information, it is free to ignore it by returning an appropriate Response

Specified by:

pushProjection in interface LoadPushDown

Parameters:

rfl - RequiredFieldList indicating which columns will be needed. This structure is read only. User cannot make change to it inside pushProjection.

Returns:

Indicates which fields will be returned

Throws:

FrontendException

getShipFiles

public List<String> getShipFiles()

Description copied from class: LoadFunc

Allow a LoadFunc to specify a list of files located locally and would like to ship to backend (through distributed cache). Check for FuncUtils for utility function to facilitate it The default implementation returns null.

Specified by:

getShipFiles in interface StoreResources

Overrides:

getShipFiles in class LoadFunc

Returns:

A list of files
