Hi,
I'd like to be able to configure the date format for TSProcessor. Looking at
the code, others have had the same thought:
public TsProcessor() {
// TODO move that to config
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS");
}
I can write a patch to support this change, but how do we want to make the
date configurable? Currently there is a single config (AFAIK) that binds the
processor class to a data type in chukwa-demux-conf.xml that looks like
this:
<property>
<name>some_data_type</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.chukwa.extraction.demux.processor.mapper.TsProcessor</value>
<description>Parser for some_data_type</description>
</property>
Any suggestions for how we'd incorporate date format into that config? Or
perhaps it would be a separate conf. Are there any examples in the code of
processors that take configurations currently?
As a side note, I'd also like to add a configuration for what the default
processor should be, since I'd prefer to change ours from DefaultProcessor
to TsProcessor. Maybe 'chukwa.demux.default.processor'? Thoughts?
thanks,
Bill
