package processing

This package provides the Data Processing Library for building distributed data processing applications.

A Runner both implements the interface with the environment for an application to run, and starts the application. The application, in turn, is driven by a Driver, that controls and performs the distributed processing.

Choose a Runner best suited for the environment where the application runs.

The Driver performs one of more tasks which read layers from input catalogs and write to one or more layers of an output catalog.

The main entry point in the processing library is the com.here.platform.data.processing.driver.DriverBuilder class where you can add different kinds of tasks to the driver. The driver runs the tasks, and commits the final results to the output catalog.

Tasks are implemented using one or more compilers.

The simplest compiler is the direct compiler which maps each input tile to N output tiles. The application needs to define com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.Direct1ToNCompiler.

Other more complex compilation patterns are based on some kind of dependency tracking between input partitions and output partitions.

The processing Library supports the following patterns:

- com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.NonIncrementalCompiler: non-incremental compilation only - com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.DepCompiler: non-incremental dependency calculation and incremental compilation - com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.IncrementalDepCompiler: incremental dependency calculation and compilation - com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.Direct1ToNCompiler: incremental compilation where every output tile depends only on one input tile, and this mapping is independent from tile content - com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.DirectMToNCompiler: incremental compilation where every output tile depends on multiple input tiles, and this mapping is independent from tile content - com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.MapGroupCompiler: incremental compilation where every output tile can depend on multiple input tiles, and this mapping depend on the tile content - com.here.platform.data.processing.compiler.RefTreeCompiler: fully-managed two phases incremental compilation that can resolve references between input partitions. Input/Output dependency management is implemented and the developer doesn't need to provide this logic

The application's main object normally mixes in the a runner trait (like PipelineRunner) to setup the Driver, and interfaces with the environment where the application is run. See the Main classes in the example compilers for more details.

com.here.platform.data.processing.catalog, com.here.platform.data.processing.blobstore, and com.here.platform.data.processing.publisher contain utilities for accessing catalogs and payloads in a Spark-friendly way, providing an RDD-based abstraction over data and metadata. These classes are used by the processing library, but can also be used independently.

package catalog

Contains an abstract Scala interface for accessing catalogs from Spark.

Use the com.here.platform.data.processing.catalog.Catalog factory methods to obtain instances.

object Partition

Groups common types to represent partitions, both generic and tiles, as well as various types of metadata that are used in the various stages of processing.

Groups common types to represent partitions, both generic and tiles, as well as various types of metadata that are used in the various stages of processing. The information includes metadata returned by querying the catalog for a particular version, metadata returned by querying the differences between two versions, and metadata provided when committing a new version of a catalog.
