====== MapReduce tutorial - Input and output format, testing data. ====== | ====== MapReduce tutorial : Input and output format, testing data. ====== |
| |
| The MapReduce framework is frequently using (key, value) pairs. These pairs can be read from a file and written to a file and there are several formats available. |
| |
| ===== Input formats ===== |
| * ''TextInputFormat'' -- values are lines of UTF8 plain text files, keys are the positions of their first character in the file. |
| * ''KeyValueTextInputFormat'' -- every line of UTF8 plain text file is split using first TAB character, forming key and value. If there is no TAB character, the value is empty. |
| * ''SequenceFileInputFormat'' -- binary format. |
| The input format can be compressed and will be decompressed transparently by the MR framework. |
| |
| ===== Output formats ===== |
| * ''TextOutputFormat'' -- (key, value) pair is printed using UTF8 on one line separated by a TAB character. If key or value is empty, no TAB character is used. |
| * ''SequenceFileOutputFormat'' -- binary format. |
| The output format can be compressed on demand. |
| |
| ===== Input data ===== |
| Testing data are available in several formats and sizes: |
| * ''/home/straka/wiki/cs-seq'' -- compressed SequenceFile of Czech Wikipedia, 85MB. |
| * ''/home/straka/wiki/cs-seq-medium'' -- compressed SequenceFile of Czech Wikipedia, 8MB. |
| * ''/home/straka/wiki/cs-seq-small'' -- compressed SequenceFile of Czech Wikipedia, 35kB. |
| * ''/home/straka/wiki/cs-text'' -- uncompressed plain text files of Czech Wikipedia in the ''KeyValueTextInputFormat'', 200MB. |
| * ''/home/straka/wiki/cs-text-medium'' -- uncompressed plain text files of Czech Wikipedia in the ''KeyValueTextInputFormat'', 16MB. |
| * ''/home/straka/wiki/cs-text-small'' -- uncompressed plain text files of Czech Wikipedia in the ''KeyValueTextInputFormat'', 70kB. |
| * ''/home/straka/wiki/en-seq'' -- compressed SequenceFile of English Wikipedia, 1.9GB. |
| It is recommended to use the text format in the tutorial, so that both input and output files are readable. |
