Class MetadataConfiguration

java.lang.Object

org.openimaj.hadoop.sequencefile.MetadataConfiguration

public class MetadataConfiguration
extends Object

Utility functions for storing and retrieving metadata to be stored in a SequenceFile by the MetadataSequenceFileOutputFormat.

Standard usage would be to use the setMetadata(Map, Configuration) method to add the given metadata to the Configuration in the part of the code that runs locally (i.e. in a Tool.run(String[]) method). The configuration would then be distributed across the cluster, and any mappers or reducers that use the MetadataSequenceFileOutputFormat will automatically have the metadata added to their output file(s).
