Readers
Read individual records from different formats.
Readers iterate records from a dataset in storage and load the data into DataVec. The usefulness of readers beyond individual entries in a dataset includes: what if you wanted to train a text generator on a corpus? Or programmatically compose two entries together to form a new record? Reader implementations are useful for complex file types or distributed storage mechanisms.
Readers return
Writable classes that describe each column in a Record. These classes are used to convert each record to a tensor/ND-Array format.Each reader implementation extends
BaseRecordReader and provides a simple API for selecting the next record in a dataset, acting similarly to iterators.Useful methods include:
next: Return a batch ofWritable.nextRecord: Return a singleRecord, optionally withRecordMetaData.reset: Reset the underlying iterator.hasNext: Iterator method to determine if another record is available.
You can hook a custom
RecordListener to a record reader for debugging or visualization purposes. Pass your custom listener to the addListener base method immediately after initializing your class.RecordReader for each pipeline. Individual record is a concatenation of the two collections. Create a recordreader that takes recordreaders and iterates over them and concatenates them hasNext would be the & of all the recordreaders concatenation would be next & addAll on the collection return one record
initialize
public void initialize(InputSplit split) throws IOException, InterruptedException
Combine multiple readers into a single reader. Records are read sequentially - thus if the first reader has 100 records, and the second reader has 200 records, ConcatenatingRecordReader will have 300 records.
File reader/writer
getCurrentLabel
public int getCurrentLabel()
Return the current label. The index of the current file’s parent directory in the label list
- return The index of the current file’s parent directory
Reads files line by line
Collection record reader. Mainly used for testing.
Collection record reader for sequences. Mainly used for testing.
initialize
public void initialize(InputSplit split) throws IOException, InterruptedException
- param records Collection of sequences. For example, List<List<List>> where the inner two lists are a sequence, and the outer list/collection is a list of sequences
Iterates through a list of strings return a record.

nextRecord
public Record nextRecord()
Load the record from the given DataInputStream Unlike {- link #next()} the internal state of the RecordReader is not modified Implementations of this method should not close the DataInputStream
- param uri
- param dataInputStream
- throws IOException if error occurs during reading from the input stream
close
public void close() throws IOException
Closes this stream and releases any system resources associated with it. If the stream is already closed then invoking this method has no effect.
As noted in {- link AutoCloseable#close()}, cases where the close may fail require careful attention. It is strongly advised to relinquish the underlying resources and to internally mark the {- code Closeable} as closed, prior to throwing the {- code IOException}.
- throws IOException if an I/O error occurs
setConf

A CSVRecordReader that can split each column into additional columns using regexs.
CSV Sequence Record Reader This reader is intended to read sequences of data in CSV format, where each sequence is defined in its own file (and there are multiple files) Each line in the file represents one time step
A sliding window of variable size across an entire CSV.
In practice the sliding window size starts at 1, then linearly increase to maxLinesPer sequence, then linearly decrease back to 1.
initialize
public void initialize(Configuration conf, InputSplit split) throws IOException, InterruptedException
No-arg constructor with the default number of lines per sequence (10)
Record reader for libsvm format, which is closely related to SVMLight format. Similar to scikit-learn we use a single reader for both formats, so this class is a subclass of SVMLightRecordReader.
Further details on the format can be found at
Matlab record reader
Record reader for SVMLight format, which can generally be described as
LABEL INDEX:VALUE INDEX:VALUE …
SVMLight format is well-suited to sparse data (e.g., bag-of-words) because it omits all features with value zero.
We support an “extended” version that allows for multiple targets (or labels) separated by a comma, as follows:
LABEL1,LABEL2,… INDEX:VALUE INDEX:VALUE …
This can be used to represent either multitask problems or multilabel problems with sparse binary labels (controlled via the “MULTILABEL” configuration option).
Like scikit-learn, we support both zero-based and one-based indexing.
Further details on the format can be found at

RegexLineRecordReader: Read a file, one line at a time, and split it into fields using a regex. To load an entire file using a
Example: Data in format “2016-01-01 23:59:59.001 1 DEBUG First entry message!”
using regex String “(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3}) (\d+) ([A-Z]+) (.)”

RegexSequenceRecordReader: Read an entire file (as a sequence), one line at a time and split each line into fields using a regex.
Example: Data in format “2016-01-01 23:59:59.001 1 DEBUG First entry message!”
using regex String “(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3}) (\d+) ([A-Z]+) (.)”

Also appends the label if specified (one of k encoding based on the directory structure where each subdir of the root is an indexed label)
