Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-1230:
----------------------------------
Attachment: context-objs-2.patch
Ok, here is an update. I made the api into abstract classes. I'm not totally
convinced that it is good for Mapper and Reducer, although it does allow me to
get rid of the MapperBase and ReduceBase. I also changed the generic parameters
to all caps although it looks ugly to my eyes. I also added the iterator and
iterable to the reduce context.
I didn't add the raw stuff yet, because it isn't clear to me how to string it
all together. (I can do it on the map/reduce api, but how does this play with
the input format, output format, partitioner, and comparator?)
> Replace parameters with context objects in Mapper, Reducer, Partitioner,
> InputFormat, and OutputFormat classes

> This is a big change, but it will future-proof our API's. To maintain
> backwards compatibility, I'd suggest that we move over to a new package name
> (org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce) and deprecate the old interfaces and package.
> Basically, it will replace:
> package org.apache.hadoop.mapred;
> public interface Mapper extends JobConfigurable, Closeable {
> void map(WritableComparable key, Writable value, OutputCollector output,
> Reporter reporter) throws IOException;
> }
> with:
> package org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce;
> public interface Mapper extends Closable {
> void map(MapContext context) throws IOException;
> }
> where MapContext has the methods like getKey(), getValue(), collect(Key,
> Value), progress(), etc.
