Class SequenceFile.Sorter

java.lang.Object
  net.nutch.io.SequenceFile.Sorter

Enclosing class:

SequenceFile

public static class SequenceFile.Sorter

extends Object

Sorts key/value pairs in a sequence-format file.

For best performance, applications should make sure that the Writable.readFields(DataInput) implementation of their keys is very efficient. In particular, it should avoid allocating memory.

Constructor Summary

SequenceFile.Sorter(Class keyClass, Class valClass)
Sort and merge files containing the named classes.

SequenceFile.Sorter(WritableComparator comparator, Class valClass)
Sort and merge using an arbitrary WritableComparator.

Method Summary

int	getFactor() Get the number of streams to merge at once.
int	getMemory() Get the total amount of buffer memory, in bytes.
void	merge(String[] inFiles, String outFile) Merge the provided files.
void	setFactor(int factor) Set the number of streams to merge at once.
void	setMemory(int memory) Set the total amount of buffer memory, in bytes.
