Description copied from interface: InputFormat

Get the RecordReader for the given InputSplit.

It is the responsibility of the RecordReader to respect record boundaries while processing the logical split to present a record-oriented view to the individual task.

Specified by:

getRecordReader in interface InputFormat<K extends org.apache.hadoop.io.WritableComparable,V extends org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable>

Parameters:

split - the InputSplit

job - the job that this split belongs to

Returns:

a RecordReader

Throws:

java.io.IOException
