## org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join
Class CompositeInputFormat<K extends WritableComparable>

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.hadoop.mapred.join.CompositeInputFormat<K>

All Implemented Interfaces:
  InputFormat<K,TupleWritable>, ComposableInputFormat<K,TupleWritable>

    public class CompositeInputFormat<K extends WritableComparable>

extends Object
implements ComposableInputFormat<K,TupleWritable>

An InputFormat capable of performing joins over a set of data sources sorted and partitioned the same way.

See Also:
  `A user may define new join types by setting the property `mapred.join.define.<ident>` to a classname. In the expression `mapred.join.expr`, the identifier will be assumed to be a ComposableRecordReader. `mapred.join.keycomparator` can be a classname used to compare keys in the join.`, `JoinRecordReader`, `MultiFilterRecordReader`

Constructor Detail

### CompositeInputFormat

    public CompositeInputFormat()

Method Detail

### setFormat

    public void setFormat(JobConf job)
                   throws IOException

  Interpret a given string as a composite expression. `func ::= <ident>([<func>,]*<func>) func ::= tbl(<class>,"<path>") class ::= @see java.lang.Class#forName(java.lang.String) path ::= @see org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path#Path(java.lang.String)` Reads expression from the `mapred.join.expr` property and user-supplied join types from `mapred.join.define.<ident>` types. Paths supplied to `tbl` are given as input paths to the InputFormat class listed.

  Throws:
    `IOException`
  See Also:
    `compose(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String...)`

### addDefaults

    protected void addDefaults()

  Adds the default set of identifiers to the parser.

### getSplits

    public InputSplit[] getSplits(JobConf job,
                                  int numSplits)
                           throws IOException

  Build a CompositeInputSplit from the child InputFormats by assigning the ith split from each child to the ith composite split.

  Specified by:
    `getSplits` in interface `InputFormat<K extends WritableComparable,TupleWritable>`
  Parameters:
    `job` - job configuration.
    `numSplits` - the desired number of splits, a hint.
  Returns:
    an array of `InputSplit`s for the job.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### getRecordReader

    public ComposableRecordReader<K,TupleWritable> getRecordReader(InputSplit split,
                                                                   JobConf job,
                                                                   Reporter reporter)
                                                                                       throws IOException

  Construct a CompositeRecordReader for the children of this InputFormat as defined in the init expression. The outermost join need only be composable, not necessarily a composite. Mandating TupleWritable isn't strictly correct.

  Specified by:
    `getRecordReader` in interface `InputFormat<K extends WritableComparable,TupleWritable>`
  Specified by:
    `getRecordReader` in interface `ComposableInputFormat<K extends WritableComparable,TupleWritable>`
  Parameters:
    `split` - the `InputSplit`
    `job` - the job that this split belongs to
  Returns:
    a `RecordReader`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### compose

    public static String compose(Class<? extends InputFormat> inf,
                                 String path)

  Convenience method for constructing composite formats. Given InputFormat class (inf), path (p) return: `tbl(<inf>, <p>)`

### compose

    public static String compose(String op,
                                 Class<? extends InputFormat> inf,
                                 String... path)

  Convenience method for constructing composite formats. Given operation (op), Object class (inf), set of paths (p) return: `<op>(tbl(<inf>,<p1>),tbl(<inf>,<p2>),...,tbl(<inf>,<pn>))`

### compose

    public static String compose(String op,
                                 Class<? extends InputFormat> inf,
                                 Path... path)

  Convenience method for constructing composite formats. Given operation (op), Object class (inf), set of paths (p) return: `<op>(tbl(<inf>,<p1>),tbl(<inf>,<p2>),...,tbl(<inf>,<pn>))`
