cascading.operation.aggregator
Class ExtremaBase

java.lang.Object
  extended by cascading.operation.BaseOperation<ExtremaBase.Context>
      extended by cascading.operation.aggregator.ExtremaBase
All Implemented Interfaces:
Aggregator<ExtremaBase.Context>, Operation<ExtremaBase.Context>, Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
Max, Min

public abstract class ExtremaBase
extends BaseOperation<ExtremaBase.Context>
implements Aggregator<ExtremaBase.Context>

Class ExtremaBase is the base class for Max and Min. The unique thing about Max and Min are that they return the original, un-coerced, argument value, though a coerced version of the argument is used for the comparison.

Method Detail

start

public void start(FlowProcess flowProcess,
                  AggregatorCall<ExtremaBase.Context> aggregatorCall)
Description copied from interface: Aggregator
Method start initializes the aggregation procedure and is called for every unique grouping.

The AggregatorCall context should be initialized here if necessary.

The first time this method is called for a given 'process', the AggregatorCall context will be null. This method should set a new instance of the user defined context object. When the AggregatorCall context is not null, it is up to the developer to create a new instance, or 'recycle' the given instance. If recycled, it must be re-initialized to remove any previous state/values.

For example, if a Map is used to hold the intermediate data for each subsequent Aggregator.aggregate(cascading.flow.FlowProcess, AggregatorCall) call, new HashMap() should be set on the AggregatorCall instance when OperationCall.getContext() is null. On the next grouping, start() will be called again, but this time with the old Map instance. In this case, map.clear() should be invoked before returning.

Specified by:
start in interface Aggregator<ExtremaBase.Context>
Parameters:
flowProcess - of type FlowProcess
aggregatorCall - of type AggregatorCall

getInitialValue

protected abstract double getInitialValue()

aggregate

public void aggregate(FlowProcess flowProcess,
                      AggregatorCall<ExtremaBase.Context> aggregatorCall)
Description copied from interface: Aggregator
Method aggregate is called for each TupleEntry value in the current grouping.

TupleEntry entry, or entry.getTuple() should not be stored directly in the context. A copy of the tuple should be made via the new Tuple( entry.getTuple() ) copy constructor.

Specified by:
aggregate in interface Aggregator<ExtremaBase.Context>
Parameters:
flowProcess - of type FlowProcess
aggregatorCall - of type AggregatorCall

compare

protected abstract boolean compare(Number lhs,
                                   Number rhs)

complete

public void complete(FlowProcess flowProcess,
                     AggregatorCall<ExtremaBase.Context> aggregatorCall)
Description copied from interface: Aggregator
Method complete will be issued last after every TupleEntry has been passed to the Aggregator.aggregate(cascading.flow.FlowProcess, AggregatorCall) method. Any final calculation should be completed here and passed to the outputCollector.

Specified by:
complete in interface Aggregator<ExtremaBase.Context>
Parameters:
flowProcess - of type FlowProcess
aggregatorCall - of type AggregatorCall

getResult

protected Tuple getResult(AggregatorCall<ExtremaBase.Context> aggregatorCall)

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)
Overrides:
equals in class BaseOperation<ExtremaBase.Context>

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Overrides:
hashCode in class BaseOperation<ExtremaBase.Context>
