Class To

  org.apache.crunch.io.To

public class To
extends Object

Static factory methods for creating common Target types.

The To class is intended to be used as part of a literate API for writing the output of Crunch pipelines to common file types. We can use the Target objects created by the factory methods in the To class with either the write method on the Pipeline class or the convenience write method on PCollection and PTable instances. Pipeline pipeline = new MRPipeline(this.getClass()); ... // Write a PCollection to a text file: PCollection words = ...; pipeline.write(words, To.textFile("/put/my/words/here")); // Write a PTable to a sequence file: PTable textToText = ...; textToText.write(To.sequenceFile("/words/to/words")); // Write a PCollection to an Avro data file: PCollection objects = ...; objects.write(To.avroFile("/my/avro/files")); // Write a PTable to a custom FileOutputFormat: PTable custom = ...; pipeline.write(custom, To.formattedFile("/custom", MyFileFormat.class));
