public class Set
extends Object

Utilities for performing set operations (difference, intersection, etc) on PCollection instances.

Constructor Summary

Set()

Method Summary

static <T> PCollection<Tuple3<T,T,T>>	comm(PCollection<T> coll1, PCollection<T> coll2) Find the elements that are common to two sets, like the Unix comm utility.
static <T> PCollection<T>	difference(PCollection<T> coll1, PCollection<T> coll2) Compute the set difference between two sets of elements.
static <T> PCollection<T>	intersection(PCollection<T> coll1, PCollection<T> coll2) Compute the intersection of two sets of elements.

Method Detail

difference

public static <T> PCollection<T> difference(PCollection<T> coll1,
                                            PCollection<T> coll2)

Compute the set difference between two sets of elements.

Returns:

a collection containing elements that are in coll1 but not in coll2

intersection

public static <T> PCollection<T> intersection(PCollection<T> coll1,
                                              PCollection<T> coll2)

Compute the intersection of two sets of elements.

Returns:

a collection containing elements that common to both sets coll1 and coll2

comm

public static <T> PCollection<Tuple3<T,T,T>> comm(PCollection<T> coll1,
                                                  PCollection<T> coll2)

Find the elements that are common to two sets, like the Unix comm utility. This method returns a PCollection of Tuple3 objects, and the position in the tuple that an element appears is determined by the collections that it is a member of, as follows:

1. elements only in coll1,
2. elements only in coll2, or
3. elements in both collections

Tuples are otherwise filled with null.

Returns:

a collection of Tuple3 objects
