Interface Converter<K,V,S,T>

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

HBaseValueConverter

public interface Converter<K,V,S,T>
extends Serializable

Converts the input key/value from a MapReduce task into the input to a DoFn, or takes the output of a DoFn and write it to the output key/values.

Method Summary

boolean	applyPTypeTransforms() If true, convert the inputs or outputs from this Converter instance before (for outputs) or after (for inputs) using the associated PType#getInputMapFn and PType#getOutputMapFn calls.
S	convertInput(K key, V value)
T	convertIterableInput(K key, Iterable<V> value)
Class<K>	getKeyClass()
Class<V>	getValueClass()
K	outputKey(S value)
V	outputValue(S value)
