Method Detail

collectPartitionData

Serializable collectPartitionData()
                           throws Exception

The collectPartitionData method receives control periodically during partition processing. This method receives control on each thread processing a partition as follows:

1. for a chunk type step, it receives control after every chunk checkpoint and then one last time at the end of the partition;
2. for a batchlet type step, it receives control once at the end of the batchlet.

Note the collector is not called if the partition terminates due to an unhandled exception.

Returns:

an Serializable object to pass to the PartitionAnalyzer.

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurs.
