ExtensionMethodsWriteHdfsBinaryTOutput, TWriter Method (StreamTOutput, Epoch, FuncInt32, Int32, Int32, Uri, FuncStream, TWriter, ActionTWriter, ArraySegmentTOutput, Int32, Int64, Int64)Naiad Help

[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]

general method to write a stream of records to a collection of HDFS files. The collection is active throughout the computation and is closed when the computation terminates: it concatenates records from all epochs in an undefined order

Namespace: Microsoft.Research.Naiad.Frameworks.Hdfs
Assembly: Microsoft.Research.Naiad.HdfsSupport (in Microsoft.Research.Naiad.HdfsSupport.dll) Version: 0.5.0.0 (0.5.0.0)
Syntax

C#
public static Subscription WriteHdfsBinary<TOutput, TWriter>(
	this Stream<TOutput, Epoch> source,
	Func<int, int, int, Uri> format,
	Func<Stream, TWriter> writerFunction,
	Action<TWriter, ArraySegment<TOutput>> serialize,
	int bufferSize,
	long blockSize,
	long segmentThreshold
)
where TWriter : class, IDisposable, IFlushable

Parameters

source
Type: Microsoft.Research.NaiadStreamTOutput, Epoch
stream of records to write
format
Type: SystemFuncInt32, Int32, Int32, Uri
function to generate a filename given a processId, threadId 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 in 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

Return Value

Type: Subscription
handle to wait on until the computation completes

Usage Note

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