mapper
– aHadoop::Mapper
to usereducer
– an optionalHadoop::Reducer
to usecombiner
– an optionalHadoop::Reducer
to use as combinerpartitioner
– an optionalHadoop::Partitioner
to useinput_format
– one ofTextInputFormat
,KeyValueTextInputFormat
,SequenceFileInputFormat
output_format
– one ofTextOutputFormat
,SequenceFileOutputFormat
output_compression
– Bool flag controlling the compression of outputhadoop_prefix
– the prefix of Hadoop instalation. Default value is fine in UFAL cluster.keep_env
– which environment variables are preserved when running perl mappers, reducers, combiners and partitioners

Hadoop::Mapper
package Hadoop::Mapper; use Moose::Role; requires 'map'; sub setup() {} sub cleanup {}
sub map($self, $key, $value, $context)
– executed for every (key, value) input pair. The variable '$content' has following methods:$content->write($key, $value)
– output the ($key
,$value
) pair$content->counter($group, $name, $increment)
– increases the counter$name
in the group$group
by$increment
sub setup($self, $context)
– executed once before any input (key, value) pairs are processed. The$context
can be used to both produce (key, value) pairs and increment counters.sub cleanup($self, $context)
– executed once after all input (key, value) pairs are processed. The$context
can be used to both produce (key, value) pairs and increment counters.
Hadoop::Reducer
package Hadoop::Reduce; use Moose::Role; requires 'reduce'; sub setup() {} sub cleanup {}
sub reduce($self, $key, $values, $context)
– executed for every$key
. The$values
is an iterator with the following methods:$values->value()
– returns the current value, undef if there is any.$values->next()
– advance to next value. Returns true if there is any, false otherwise.- At the beginning there is no current value, the first value should be obtained by calling 'next'.
sub reduce($self, $key, $values, $context)
– the variable$content
has following methods:$content->write($key, $value)
– output the ($key
,$value
) pair$content->counter($group, $name, $increment)
– increases the counter$name
in the group$group
by$increment
sub setup($self, $context)
– executed once before any input keys are processed. The$context
can be used to both produce (key, value) pairs and increment counters.sub cleanup($self, $context)
– executed once after all input keys are processed. The$context
can be used to both produce (key, value) pairs and increment counters.
Hadoop::Partitioner
package Hadoop::Partitioner; use Moose::Role; requires 'getPartition'; sub setup {} sub cleanup {}
sub getPartition($self, $key, $value, $partitions)
– executed for every output (key, value) pair. It must return a number of partition in range 0..$partitions-1, where the output (key, value) pair should be placed.sub setup($self)
– executed once before any input (key, value) pairs are processed.sub cleanup($self)
– executed once after all input (key, value) pairs are processed.
Available environmental variables
HADOOP_TASK_ID
– available in every mapper and reducer. The serial number of the mapper and reducer task (in range 0..number_of_tasks-1).HADOOP_WORK_OUTPUT_PATH
– available in every reducer, and also in every mapper of a reduce-less job. It contains an existing directory where the reducer can output files. If the reducer finishes successfully, all files and subdirectories will be moved to output directory of the job.
