public final class GatherHint
extends AbstractDeferredRecordOperator

Forces parallel streams of data to be gathered into a single non-parallel stream. If requested, the output will also be sorted.

It is also possible to force data to be staged to disk, breaking physical streaming; consumers of the output will run in a physical graph executed after the physical graph executing this operator. Even if not forced, the transition from parallel to non-parallel may cause staging to occur.

Normally these actions happens automatically in a logical graph as required, but this operator provides a mechanism for explicit control.

By definition, this is a non-parallel operator.

Constructor Detail

GatherHint

public GatherHint()

Forces a gather of parallel streams of data. The resulting single stream will be unordered.

Method Detail

getDataOrdering

public DataOrdering getDataOrdering()

Gets the data ordering of the output.

Returns:

the requested data ordering

setDataOrdering

public void setDataOrdering(DataOrdering dataOrdering)

Sets the data ordering of the output. The output is guaranteed to be ordered in the specified manner.

Parameters:

dataOrdering - the requested data ordering

isForceStaging

public boolean isForceStaging()

Indicates whether data will be forcibly staged to disk.

Returns:

whether staging is required

setForceStaging

public void setForceStaging(boolean forceStaging)

Sets whether data must be staged to disk.

Parameters:

forceStaging - indicates whether the data must be staged

computeMetadata

protected void computeMetadata(StreamingMetadataContext ctx)

Description copied from class: DeferredCompositeOperator

Implementations must adhere to all of the contracts specified by StreamingOperator.computeMetadata(com.pervasive.datarush.operators.StreamingMetadataContext). In addition, DeferredCompositeOperators must declare required metadata so as to satisfy requirements of the operators that are added during DeferredCompositeOperator.compose(com.pervasive.datarush.operators.DeferredCompositionContext).

Specified by:

computeMetadata in class DeferredCompositeOperator

Parameters:

ctx - the context

compose

protected void compose(DeferredCompositionContext ctx)

Description copied from class: DeferredCompositeOperator

Compose the body of this operator. Implementations should do the following:

1. Instantiate and configure sub-operators, adding them to the provided context via the method OperatorComposable.add(O)
2. Create necessary connections via the method OperatorComposable.connect(P, P). This includes connections from the composite's input ports to sub-operators, connections between sub-operators, and connections from sub-operators output ports to the composite's output ports

Specified by:

compose in class DeferredCompositeOperator

Parameters:

ctx - the context
