public class KeyFieldBasedPartitioner<K2,V2>
extends Partitioner<K2,V2>
implements Configurable
Defines a way to partition keys based on certain key fields (also seeKeyFieldBasedComparator. The key specification supported is of the form -k pos1[,pos2], where, pos is of the form f[.c][opts], where f is the number of the key field to use, and c is the number of the first character from the beginning of the field. Fields and character posns are numbered starting with 1; a character position of zero in pos2 indicates the field's last character. If '.c' is omitted from pos1, it defaults to 1 (the beginning of the field); if omitted from pos2, it defaults to 0 (the end of the field).
