Project Layout

This page describes the overall structure of the mongo-hadoop project.

The mongo-hadoop provides integrations for a number of different Hadoop frameworks. Each of these integrations are contained in their own module at the root level of the project. These are:

• core - MapReduce integration and abstractions that are reusable by the other modules.
• hive - Apache Hive inegration
• pig - Apache Pig integration
• flume - Apache Flume integration
• streaming - Hadoop Streaming integration

There are also a few directories that don't contain any of the actual MongoDB Hadoop connector source code itself. These are:

• examples - Example code demonstrating how to use the MongoDB Hadoop connector.
• docs - Old documentation. This will probably be deleted soon. Please consult the Github wiki instead (the one you're reading right now!).
• config - The checkstyle and findbugs configuration XML files. Please use these when developing the Hadoop Connector.
• tools - Contains the bson_splitter script (Python script for splitting large BSON files into smaller pieces). This may go away soon.
• clusterConfigs - Contains some of the Hadoop configuration files that are used during the tests. Note that several other configuration files are contained in the build/resources directories under certain modules so that they'll be added to the CLASSPATH.
• gradle - Gradle scripts used to run tests.
