[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-449) Generalize the SequenceFileInputFilter
to apply to any InputFormat
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-449?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Enis Soztutar updated HADOOP-449:
---------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 0.17.0)
0.18.0
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.17.0)
0.18.0
We cannot make this into 0.17, moving to 0.18.

> I'd like to generalize the SequenceFileInputFormat that was introduced in HADOOP-412 so that it can be applied to any InputFormat. To do this, I propose:
> interface WritableFilter {
> boolean accept(Writable item);
> }
> class FilterInputFormat implements InputFormat {
> ...
> }
> FilterInputFormat would look in the JobConf for:
> mapred.input.filter.source = the underlying input format
> mapred.input.filter.filters = a list of class names that implement WritableFilter
> The FilterInputFormat will work like the current SequenceFilter, but use an internal RecordReader rather than the SequenceFile. This will require adding a next(key) and getCurrentValue(value) to the RecordReader interface, but that will be addressed in a different issue.
