    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.InputSampler.IntervalSampler<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:
  InputSampler.Sampler<K,V>

Enclosing class:
  InputSampler<K,V>

    public static class InputSampler.IntervalSampler<K,V>

extends Object
implements InputSampler.Sampler<K,V>

Sample from s splits at regular intervals. Useful for sorted data.

Constructor Summary
`InputSampler.IntervalSampler(double freq)` Create a new IntervalSampler sampling all splits.
`InputSampler.IntervalSampler(double freq, int maxSplitsSampled)` Create a new IntervalSampler.

Method Summary
`K[]` `getSample(InputFormat<K,V> inf, JobConf job)` For each split sampled, emit when the ratio of the number of records retained to the total record count is less than the specified frequency.
