Class PartialKeyGrouping

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, CustomStreamGrouping

    public class PartialKeyGrouping
    extends Object
    implements CustomStreamGrouping, Serializable
    A variation on FieldGrouping. This grouping operates on a partitioning of the incoming tuples (like a FieldGrouping), but it can send Tuples from a given partition to multiple downstream tasks.

    Given a total pool of target tasks, this grouping will always send Tuples with a given key to one member of a subset of those tasks. Each key is assigned a subset of tasks. Each tuple is then sent to one task from that subset.

    Notes: - the default TaskSelector ensures each task gets as close to a balanced number of Tuples as possible - the default AssignmentCreator hashes the key and produces an assignment of two tasks
