Constructor Detail

### SequenceFileAsBinaryOutputFormat

    public SequenceFileAsBinaryOutputFormat()

Method Detail

### setSequenceFileOutputKeyClass

    public static void setSequenceFileOutputKeyClass(JobConf conf,
                                                     Class<?> theClass)

  Set the key class for the `SequenceFile`

  This allows the user to specify the key class to be different from the actual class (`BytesWritable`) used for writing

  Parameters:
    `conf` - the `JobConf` to modify
    `theClass` - the SequenceFile output key class.

### setSequenceFileOutputValueClass

    public static void setSequenceFileOutputValueClass(JobConf conf,
                                                       Class<?> theClass)

  Set the value class for the `SequenceFile`

  This allows the user to specify the value class to be different from the actual class (`BytesWritable`) used for writing

  Parameters:
    `conf` - the `JobConf` to modify
    `theClass` - the SequenceFile output key class.

### getSequenceFileOutputKeyClass

    public static Class<? extends WritableComparable> getSequenceFileOutputKeyClass(JobConf conf)

  Get the key class for the `SequenceFile`

  Returns:
    the key class of the `SequenceFile`

### getSequenceFileOutputValueClass

    public static Class<? extends Writable> getSequenceFileOutputValueClass(JobConf conf)

  Get the value class for the `SequenceFile`

  Returns:
    the value class of the `SequenceFile`

### getRecordWriter

    public RecordWriter<BytesWritable,BytesWritable> getRecordWriter(FileSystem ignored,
                                                                     JobConf job,
                                                                     String name,
                                                                     Progressable progress)
                                                              throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `OutputFormat`
  Get the `RecordWriter` for the given job.

  Specified by:
    `getRecordWriter` in interface `OutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>`
  Overrides:
    `getRecordWriter` in class `SequenceFileOutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>`
    `job` - configuration for the job whose output is being written.
    `name` - the unique name for this part of the output.
    `progress` - mechanism for reporting progress while writing to file.
  Returns:
    a `RecordWriter` to write the output for the job.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### checkOutputSpecs

    public void checkOutputSpecs(FileSystem ignored,
                                 JobConf job)
                          throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `OutputFormat`
  Check for validity of the output-specification for the job.

  This is to validate the output specification for the job when it is a job is submitted. Typically checks that it does not already exist, throwing an exception when it already exists, so that output is not overwritten.

  Specified by:
    `checkOutputSpecs` in interface `OutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>`
  Overrides:
    `checkOutputSpecs` in class `FileOutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>`
    `job` - job configuration.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - when output should not be attempted
