DataBaseSource

public interface Source<T>

A Source represents an input data set that is an input to one or more MapReduce jobs.

Method Summary

void	configureSource(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job job, int inputId) Configure the given job to use this source as an input.
Converter<?,?,?,?>	getConverter() Returns the Converter used for mapping the inputs from this instance into PCollection or PTable values.
long	getLastModifiedAt(org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration configuration) Returns the time (in milliseconds) that this Source was most recently modified (e.g., because an input file was edited or new files were added to a directory.)
long	getSize(org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration configuration) Returns the number of bytes in this Source.
PType<T>	getType() Returns the PType for this source.

Method Detail

getType

PType<T> getType()
