Class AccumulatorEvalFunc<T>

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.pig.EvalFunc<T>
      org.apache.pig.AccumulatorEvalFunc<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Accumulator<T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AlgebraicEvalFunc, GroovyAccumulatorEvalFunc, IteratingAccumulatorEvalFunc, JrubyAccumulatorEvalFunc

public abstract class AccumulatorEvalFunc<T>
extends EvalFunc<T>
implements Accumulator<T>

This class is used to provide a free implementation of the EvalFunc exec function given implementation of the Accumulator interface. Instead of having to provide a redundant implementation, this provides the base exec function for free, given that the methods associated with the Accumulator interface are implemented. For information on how to implement Accumulator, see Accumulator.

Method Detail

accumulate

public abstract void accumulate(Tuple b)
                         throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Accumulator

Pass tuples to the UDF.

Specified by:

accumulate in interface Accumulator<T>

Parameters:

b - A tuple containing a single field, which is a bag. The bag will contain the set of tuples being passed to the UDF in this iteration.

Throws:

IOException

cleanup

public abstract void cleanup()

Description copied from interface: Accumulator

Called after getValue() to prepare processing for next key.

Specified by:

cleanup in interface Accumulator<T>

getValue

public abstract T getValue()

Description copied from interface: Accumulator

Called when all tuples from current key have been passed to accumulate.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Accumulator<T>

Returns:

the value for the UDF for this key.

exec

public T exec(Tuple input)
       throws 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<T>

Parameters:

input - the Tuple to be processed.

Returns:

result, of type T.

Throws:

IOException
