Git Bundle

       Keeping git repositories in sync is usually and easily done using git pull and git push. However, for those rare times when you don't have network connectivity (or limited connectivity) and still needs to transfer the contents of a repository to somewhere else, there's git bundle.


      Another use case, would be like you have hired external contractors to build some application, now you need to get code from them to your organization internal private Git Server hosted and maintained by your organization  and it doesn't exposed to public. So instead of sending .zip format of code, they can send git bundle.


What Git Bundle Covers?
      Git bundle file is a full repository in a single file, you can have branches, commit history, tags, basically everything you expect in a repository, but it's all contained in a single file.This makes sharing the repository or moving the full repository pretty straightforward.

   Now suppose you have a project myproj and you need to send to someone else.
       

        user1@host$ cd myproj
        user1@host$ git bundle create repo-bundle master

That will make a bundle file (repo-bundle) that contains all the history of the master branch. you can send this file to someone, they just need to clone it just like remote git origin.
       

        user2@host$ git clone repo-bundle myproj
        user2@host$ cd myproj
        user2@host$ git status
        On branch master
        Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'

Another thing about git bundle is, if you need to update one, you can send them a incremental file with latest changes.

That's for day, ciao until next time.

Avro Secondary Sorting

In this post, We are gonna see secondary sorting with Avro file format, using AvroJob Api and its gonna be two part series, MapReduce V1 Api (org.apache.hadoop.mapred) MapReduce V2 Api (org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce) In this post we are going to see example in MapReduce V1 Api. So lets start, Here's the Avro  Input Schema that we are going to use in this example. Sample Data which we are going to read as input file, for viewing purpose data is shown in JSON format. but it was read as  avro format in mapreduce program. Secondary sorting means the values sent to the Reducer should be sorted based on some criteria. you can refer more about secondary sorting here . In this example, Reducer Iterator values should be sorted based the TimeStamp of above data, but the Reducer Input Key should be grouped based on Id of above sample data. We need use MapOutput Key Schema for Secondary Sorting(Natural Key + Composite Key).Here Natural Key is Id and Composite Ke...

Builder Design Pattern

Image
         Builder design patter is used to create an object with optional instance attributes.If you want some introduction about design patterns please refer here.         So, first step is to know what wikipedia says about builder design pattern, The intent of the Builder design pattern is to separate the construction of a complex object from its representation.         Second Step is to find an real world example (behavior) of builder design pattern. Builder pattern is similar to Buffet system, where diners will serve themselves (they pick what dishes they want) , here we need map each dish as instance attributes and people as the client class need to create a object with optional attributes.                 Now the fun part, below codes shows the implementation of builder pattern         Here's th...
