Direct Known Subclasses:
  TaskID

    public class TaskID

extends ID

TaskID represents the immutable and unique identifier for a Map or Reduce Task. Each TaskID encompasses multiple attempts made to execute the Map or Reduce Task, each of which are uniquely indentified by their TaskAttemptID. TaskID consists of 3 parts. First part is the `JobID`, that this TaskInProgress belongs to. Second part of the TaskID is either 'm' or 'r' representing whether the task is a map task or a reduce task. And the third part is the task number.
An example TaskID is : `task_200707121733_0003_m_000005` , which represents the fifth map task in the third job running at the jobtracker started at `200707121733`.

Applications should never construct or parse TaskID strings , but rather use appropriate constructors or `forName(String)` method.

Constructor Detail

### TaskID

    public TaskID(JobID jobId,
                  boolean isMap,
                  int id)

  Constructs a TaskID object from given `JobID`.

  Parameters:
    `jobId` - JobID that this tip belongs to
    `isMap` - whether the tip is a map
    `id` - the tip number

### TaskID

    public TaskID(String jtIdentifier,
                  int jobId,
                  boolean isMap,
                  int id)

  Constructs a TaskInProgressId object from given parts.

  Parameters:
    `jtIdentifier` - jobTracker identifier
    `jobId` - job number
    `isMap` - whether the tip is a map
    `id` - the tip number

### TaskID

    public TaskID()

Method Detail

### getJobID

    public JobID getJobID()

  Returns the `JobID` object that this tip belongs to

### isMap

    public boolean isMap()

  Returns whether this TaskID is a map ID

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `ID`

### compareTo

    public int compareTo(ID o)

  Compare TaskInProgressIds by first jobIds, then by tip numbers. Reduces are defined as greater then maps.

  Specified by:
    `compareTo` in interface `Comparable<ID>`
  Overrides:
    `compareTo` in class `ID`

### toString

    public String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `ID`

### appendTo

    protected StringBuilder appendTo(StringBuilder builder)

  Add the unique string to the given builder.

  Parameters:
    `builder` - the builder to append to
  Returns:
    the builder that was passed in

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `ID`

### readFields

    public void readFields(DataInput in)
                    throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `Writable`
  Deserialize the fields of this object from `in`.

  For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.

  Specified by:
    `readFields` in interface `Writable`
  Overrides:
    `readFields` in class `ID`
  Parameters:
    `in` - `DataInput` to deseriablize this object from.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### write

    public void write(DataOutput out)
               throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `Writable`
  Serialize the fields of this object to `out`.

  Specified by:
    `write` in interface `Writable`
  Overrides:
    `write` in class `ID`
  Parameters:
    `out` - `DataOuput` to serialize this object into.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### forName

    public static TaskID forName(String str)
                          throws IllegalArgumentException

  Construct a TaskID object from given string

  Returns:
    constructed TaskID object or null if the given String is null
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the given string is malformed
