Class CountTokens

All Implemented Interfaces:
LogicalOperator, PipelineOperator<RecordPort>, RecordPipelineOperator

public class CountTokens extends ExecutableOperator implements RecordPipelineOperator
Counts the number of tokens in a tokenized text field. This operator can be used to count the number of a particular type of TextElement. This includes words, sentences, etc. The CountTokens operator has three properties: input field, output field, and the type of text element to count. The operator will create a new integer field in the output that will contain the counts.

      Set the type of token to count.
      Parameters:
      tokenType - type of token to count
    • getTokenType

      public TextElementType getTokenType()
      Get the type of token to count.
      Returns:
      type of token to count
    • getInput

      public RecordPort getInput()
      Get the input port of this operator.
      Specified by:
      getInput in interface PipelineOperator<RecordPort>
      Returns:
      input port
    • getOutput

      public RecordPort getOutput()

      Specified by:
      getOutput in interface PipelineOperator<RecordPort>
      Returns:
      output port
    • 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.
      3. Required data distribution (only applies to parallelizable operators):
      4. 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
    • 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.
      Specified by:
      execute in class ExecutableOperator
      Parameters:
      ctx - context in which to lookup physical ports bound to logical ports
