Motivation

interface Reducer<T,A,R> is fundamental to the MapReduce Frameworks lab. Your frameworks will be general enough such that MapReduce is just a subset of what you will support.

In this studio we will build a ListAccumulatingReducerr which will implement the MapReduce style of accumulating all of the emitted values per key in a List.

We will also build a custom IntSumEfficientReducer to demonstrate the desired flexibility of the Reducer interface.

Background

We have chosen to use a non-lambdafied Reducer<V,A,R> interface versus adopting the standard interface Collector<T,A,R> from the standard Java streams framework as the basis for the MapReduce Frameworks Lab.

CSE 231 Selection: Reducer

public interface Reducer<V, A, R> {
	A createMutableContainer();
	void accumulate(A container, V item);
	A combine(A containerA, A containerB);
	R reduce(A container);
}

Java Streams Collector

public interface Collector<T, A, R> {

	// invoke supplier().get() to create a new mutable container
	Supplier<A> supplier();

	// invoke accumulator().accept(container, item) to add item to a container
	BiConsumer<A, T> accumulator();

	// invoke combiner().apply(containerA, containerB) to combine one container into the other
	BinaryOperator<A> combiner();

	// invoke finisher().apply(container) to reduce a container to its final form
	Function<A, R> finisher();
}

Rosetta Stone

	public static <V, A, R> Collector<V, A, R> toCollector(Reducer<V, A, R> reducer) {
		return new Collector<V, A, R>() {
			@Override
			public Supplier<A> supplier() {
				return () -> reducer.createMutableContainer();
			}

			@Override
			public BiConsumer<A, V> accumulator() {
				return (container, item) -> reducer.accumulate(container, item);
			}

			@Override
			public BinaryOperator<A> combiner() {
				return (a, b) -> reducer.combine(a, b);
			}

			@Override
			public Function<A, R> finisher() {
				return (container) -> reducer.reduce(container);
			}

			@Override
			public Set<Characteristics> characteristics() {
				return reducer.collectorCharacteristics();
			}
		};
	}

	public static <V, A, R> Reducer<V, A, R> toReducer(Collector<V, A, R> collector) {
		return new Reducer<V, A, R>() {
			@Override
			public A createMutableContainer() {
				return collector.supplier().get();
			}

			@Override
			public void accumulate(A container, V item) {
				collector.accumulator().accept(container, item);
			}

			@Override
			public A combine(A containerA, A containerB) {
				return collector.combiner().apply(containerA, containerB);
			}

			@Override
			public R reduce(A container) {
				return collector.finisher().apply(container);
			}

			@Override
			public Set<Characteristics> collectorCharacteristics() {
				return collector.characteristics();
			}
		};
	}

methods

createMutableContainer a.k.a. supplier get

We use createMutableContainer() to create a new mutable container. For classic map reduce this would be a List<V>.

rosetta stone: container = collector.supplier().get() container = reducer.createMutableContainer()

accumulate a.k.a. accumulator accept

We use accumulate(container,item) to accumulate a value. For classic map reduce this would add an item to a list.

rosetta stone: collector.accumulator().accept(container,item); reducer.accumulate(container,item)

combine a.k.a. combiner apply

We use combine(containerA,containerB) to combine two accumulators. You may combine containerB into containerA or containerA into containerB. Just return whichever is the combined result.

rosetta stone: collector.combiner().apply(containerA,containerB) reducer.combine(containerA,containerB)

reduce a.k.a. finisher apply

We use reduce(container) to reduce an accumulator.

rosetta stone: collector.finisher().apply(container) r = reducer.reduce(container)

Code To Use

class MutableInt

Code To Implement

ClassicReducer

The classic MapReduce Collector will collect all of the emitted values in a List.

class: ClassicReducer.java Java.png
methods: supplier
accumulator
combiner
package: mapreduce.collector.studio
source folder: student/src/main/java

method: Supplier<List<V>> supplier() Sequential.svg (sequential implementation only)

method: BiConsumer<List<V>, V> accumulator() Sequential.svg (sequential implementation only)

method: BinaryOperator<List<V>> combiner() Sequential.svg (sequential implementation only)

IntSumCollector

MapReduce Apps like Word Count offer glaring opportunities to optimize the classic MapReduce append all of the 1s in a List and add them up later. In this section of the studio you will use MutableInt to simply add the values as they come in.

class: IntSumCollector.java Java.png
methods: supplier
accumulator
combiner
finisher
package: mapreduce.collector.intsum.studio
source folder: student/src/main/java

method: public Supplier<MutableInt> supplier() Sequential.svg (sequential implementation only)

method: public BiConsumer<MutableInt, Integer> accumulator() Sequential.svg (sequential implementation only)

method: public BinaryOperator<MutableInt> combiner() Sequential.svg (sequential implementation only)

method: public Function<MutableInt, Integer> finisher() Sequential.svg (sequential implementation only)
