Assembly: Microsoft.Research.Naiad.HdfsSupport (in Microsoft.Research.Naiad.HdfsSupport.dll) Version: 0.5.0.0 (0.5.0.0)

Syntax

Copy

public static Stream<Uri, TTime> ToHdfsBinary<TOutput, TWriter, TTime>(
	this Stream<TOutput, TTime> source,
	Func<int, int, TTime, int, Uri> format,
	Func<Stream, TWriter> writerFunction,
	Action<TWriter, ArraySegment<TOutput>> serialize,
	int bufferSize,
	long blockSize,
	long segmentThreshold
)
where TWriter : class, IDisposable, IFlushable
where TTime : Object, Time<TTime>

Parameters

source: Type: Microsoft.Research.NaiadStreamTOutput, TTime
stream of records to write
format: Type: SystemFuncInt32, Int32, TTime, Int32, Uri
function to generate a filename given a processId, threadId, time and sequence number
writerFunction: Type: SystemFuncStream, TWriter
function to generate a serializer given a Stream to write to
serialize: Type: SystemActionTWriter, ArraySegmentTOutput
function to serialize a batch of records given a serializer
bufferSize: Type: SystemInt32
buffer size to use for the serializer
blockSize: Type: SystemInt64
hdfs block size to use, or -1 for the file system default value
segmentThreshold: Type: SystemInt64
file size to write before closing the file and opening another one

Type Parameters

TOutput: type of the records to write
TWriter: type of the serializer object
TTime: type of the record time

Return Value

Type: StreamUri, TTime
stream of filenames written

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type StreamTOutput, TTime. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.
