Method Detail

getKey

public Row getKey(Row value)

Description copied from interface: KeySelector

User-defined function that deterministically extracts the key from an object.

For example for a class:

        public class Word {
                String word;
                int count;
        }
 

The key extractor could return the word as a key to group all Word objects by the String they contain.

The code would look like this

        public String getKey(Word w) {
                return w.word;
        }
 

Specified by:

getKey in interface KeySelector<Row,Row>

Parameters:

value - The object to get the key from.

Returns:

The extracted key.
