[jira] [Updated] (HAMA-815) Hama Pipes uses C++ templates

["Martin Illecker (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-815?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Martin Illecker updated HAMA-815:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: HAMA-815.patch

* Added *KeyValueWritable.java*, *PipesKeyValueWritable.java* and *PipesVectorWritable.java* in org.apache.hama.commons.io
* Added *VectorWritableMatrixGen.java* in org.apache.hama.examples.util (to remove binary sequence files in c++/src/main/native/examples/input)
* Removed unused *getPartitioner* in *BSPJob*. (has moved to PartitioningRunner)

Please verify and test my patch.
Thanks!

> *Extending Hama Pipes to use C++ templates*
> Currently all messages are converted to *strings* before they are transferred over a socket communication between C++ and Java and vice versa.
> To take advantage of the binary socket communication we will serialize and deserialize basic types like *int, long, float, double* directly without converting to strings. This will minimize the risk of type conversation errors. Other types (except these basic types) are transferred as strings. 
> It's also possible to create custom *Writables* and serialize and deserialize the object to string by overriding the following methods. (e.g., *PipesVectorWritable* and *PipesKeyValueWritable*)
> {code}
> @Override public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException
> @Override public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException
> {code}
> Hama Streaming, which depends on Hama Pipes, is still using strings.
> The following methods change
> {{virtual void sendMessage(const string& peerName, const string& msg)}}
> {{virtual const string& getCurrentMessage()}}
> {{virtual void write(const string& key, const string& value)}}
> {{virtual bool readNext(string& key, string& value)}}
> to support C++ templates:
> {{virtual void sendMessage(const string& peer_name, *const M& msg*)}}
> {{virtual *M* getCurrentMessage()}}
> {{virtual void write(*const K2& key, const V2& value*)}}
> {{virtual bool readNext(*K1& key, V1& value*)}}
> Also *SequenceFile* functions uses templates:
> {{bool sequenceFileReadNext(int32_t file_id, *K& key, V& value*)}}
> {{bool sequenceFileAppend(int32_t file_id, *const K& key, const V& value*)}}
> And the native *Partitioner* does support it:
> {code}
>   template<class K1, class V1, class K2, class V2, class M>
>   class Partitioner {
>   public:
>     virtual int partition(const K1& key, const V1& value, int32_t num_tasks) = 0;
>     virtual ~Partitioner() {}
>   };
> {code}
> This will minimize type conversation errors and change the compilation procedure. Because of the nature of C++ templates, static libraries are not possible anymore. The compiler will substitute all templates at compile time.
> The compile command will look like:
> {code}
> g++ -m64 -Ic++/src/main/native/utils/api \
>       -Ic++/src/main/native/pipes/api \
>       -Lc++/target/native \
>       -lhadooputils -lpthread \
>       PROGRAM.cc \
>       -o PROGRAM \
>       -g -Wall -O2
> {code}
> Finally the job configuration does support the following properties:
> {code}
>   <property>
>     <name>bsp.input.format.class</name>
>     <value>org.apache.hama.bsp.KeyValueTextInputFormat</value>
>   </property>
>   <property>
>     <name>bsp.input.key.class</name>
>     <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.Text</value>
>   </property>
>   <property>
>     <name>bsp.input.value.class</name>
>     <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.Text</value>
>   </property>
>   <property>
>     <name>bsp.output.format.class</name>
>     <value>org.apache.hama.bsp.SequenceFileOutputFormat</value>
>   </property>
>   <property>
>     <name>bsp.output.key.class</name>
>     <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.Text</value>
>   </property>
>   <property>
>     <name>bsp.output.value.class</name>
>     <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.DoubleWritable</value>
>   </property>
>   <property>
>     <name>bsp.message.class</name>
>     <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.DoubleWritable</value>
>   </property>
> {code}
