Assembly: Microsoft.Research.DryadLinq (in Microsoft.Research.DryadLinq.dll) Version: 0.2.1.0 (0.2.1.0)
Syntax

public static IQueryable<TSource> RangePartition<TSource, TKey>(
	this IQueryable<TSource> source,
	Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector,
	IComparer<TKey> comparer,
	bool isDescending,
	int partitionCount
)

Parameters

source
Type: System.LinqIQueryableTSource
The input dataset to be partitioned
keySelector
Type: System.Linq.ExpressionsExpressionFuncTSource, TKey
The function to extract the key from a record
comparer
Type: System.Collections.GenericIComparerTKey
An IComparer on TKey to compare keys
isDescending
Type: SystemBoolean
true if the generated keys must be descending; otherwise ascending
partitionCount
Type: SystemInt32
The number of partitions in the output dataset

Type Parameters

TSource
The type of the records in the input dataset
TKey
The type of the key on which the partition is based

Return Value

Type: IQueryableTSource
An IQueryable partitioned according to a list of keys determined at runtime

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IQueryableTSource. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
