Class LargeGroupDetector

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    LogicalOperator
    public class LargeGroupDetector
extends ExecutableOperator
    An operator that issues warnings if a dataflow contains an unusually large number of distinct key values. This is useful to latch onto the output of a blocking operation to ensure keys are balanced well.

    • Field Detail

      • input

        protected final RecordPort input
        The input control port. Contains the an identifier that is unique per key group. A change in the input value signifies the end of a group.

      • keys

        protected String[] keys

    • Constructor Detail

      • LargeGroupDetector

        public LargeGroupDetector()
        Detect large groupings of key values. Key fields must be identified before execution.
        See Also:
        setKeys(String[])

    • Method Detail

      • setWarningThreshold

        public void setWarningThreshold​(long threshold)
        Set the threshold for issuing a warning about group size.
        Parameters:
        threshold - the minimum group size required to issue a warning

      • execute

        protected void execute​(ExecutionContext ctx)
        Description copied from class: ExecutableOperator
        Executes the operator. Implementations should adhere to the following contracts:
        1. Following execution, all input ports must be at end-of-data.
        2. Following execution, all output ports must be at end-of-data.
        Parameters:
        ctx - context in which to lookup physical ports bound to logical ports

      • handleRow

        protected void handleRow​(boolean endOfGroup)
        Called once per input row. Aggregators must step to the next row of their inputs and handle group boundaries indicated by endOfGroup.
        Parameters:
        endOfGroup - true iff the input row is the last in the key group

      • endOfData

        protected void endOfData​(boolean emptyInput)
        Called once at the end of run. Aggregators must step to the end of their inputs and push EOD on their outputs.
        Parameters:
        emptyInput - true iff handleRow was called zero times (no input rows to aggregate)

      • getKeys

        public String[] getKeys()

      • setKeys

        public void setKeys​(String[] keys)

      • computeMetadata

        protected void computeMetadata​(StreamingMetadataContext ctx)
        Description copied from class: StreamingOperator
        Implementations must adhere to the following contracts

        General

        Regardless of input ports/output port types, all implementations must do the following:

        1. Validation. Validation of configuration should always be performed first.
        2. Declare parallelizability.. Implementations must declare parallelizability by calling StreamingMetadataContext.parallelize(ParallelismStrategy).

        Input record ports

        Implementations with input record ports must declare the following:
        1. Required data ordering:
          2. Implementations that have data ordering requirements must declare them by calling RecordPort#setRequiredDataOrdering, otherwise data may arrive in any order.
        2. Required data distribution (only applies to parallelizable operators):
          3. Implementations that have data distribution requirements must declare them by calling RecordPort#setRequiredDataDistribution, otherwise data will arrive in an unspecified partial distribution.
        Note that if the upstream operator's output distribution/ordering is compatible with those required, we avoid a re-sort/re-distribution which is generally a very large savings from a performance standpoint. In addition, some operators may chose to query the upstream output distribution/ordering by calling RecordPort#getSourceDataDistribution and RecordPort#getSourceDataOrdering. These should be viewed as a hints to help chose a more efficient algorithm. In such cases, though, operators must still declare data ordering and data distribution requirements; otherwise there is no guarantee that data will arrive sorted/distributed as required.

        Output record ports

        Implementations with output record ports must declare the following:
        1. Type: Implementations must declare their output type by calling RecordPort#setType.
        Implementations with output record ports may declare the following:
        1. Output data ordering: Implementations that can make guarantees as to their output ordering may do so by calling RecordPort#setOutputDataOrdering
        2. Output data distribution (only applies to parallelizable operators): Implementations that can make guarantees as to their output distribution may do so by calling RecordPort#setOutputDataDistribution
        Note that both of these properties are optional; if unspecified, performance may suffer since the framework may unnecessarily re-sort/re-distributed the data.

        Input model ports

        In general, there is nothing special to declare for input model ports. Models are implicitly duplicated to all partitions when going from non-parallel to parallel operators. The case of a model going from a parallel to a non-parallel node is a special case of a "model reducer" operator. In the case of a model reducer, the downstream operator, must declare the following:
        1. Merge handler: Model reducers must declare a merge handler by calling AbstractModelPort#setMergeHandler.
        Note that MergeModel is a convenient, re-usable model reducer, parameterized with a merge-handler.

        Output model ports

        SimpleModelPort's have no associated metadata and therefore there is never any output metadata to declare. PMMLPort's, on the other hand, do have associated metadata. For all PMMLPorts, implementations must declare the following:
        1. pmmlModelSpec: Implementations must declare the PMML model spec by calling PMMLPort.setPMMLModelSpec.
        Specified by:
        computeMetadata in class StreamingOperator
        Parameters:
        ctx - the context

      • getNumInputCopies

        protected int getNumInputCopies​(LogicalPort inputPort)
        Description copied from class: ExecutableOperator
        May be overridden to specify that multiple input copies are needed for a given input port. By default this is one. This can be used in rare cases when we must examine multiple positions in the same input stream.
        Overrides:
        getNumInputCopies in class ExecutableOperator
        Parameters:
        inputPort - the port
        Returns:
        the number of input copies for the port
