ok great, thanks Tom for replying, I'm still relatively new to Hadoop so wasn't sure if I had missed something.

Multiple outputs has been ported to the new API in 0.21. See

I just fall back to old mapred.* APIs, seems MultipleOutputs only works for
the old API.

Totally stuck here, I can't seem to find a way to resolve this, but I can't
use the new API _and_ use the MultipleOutputFormats class.

I found this thread which is related, but doesn't seem to help me (or I
missed something completely, certainly possible):


http://markmail.org/message/u4wz5nbcn5rawydq#query:hadoop%20MultipleTextOutputFormat%20OutputFormat%20Job%20JobConf+page:1+mid:5wy63oqa2vs6bj7b+state:results

My controller Job class is simple, but I get a compile error trying to add
the new MultipleOutputs:

public class ControllerMetricGrinder {

   public static class MetricNameMultipleTextOutputFormat extends
           MultipleTextOutputFormat<String, ControllerMetric> {

       @Override
       protected String generateFileNameForKeyValue(String key,
ControllerMetric value, String name) {
           return key;
       }

   }
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

       Job job = new Job();
       job.setJarByClass(ControllerMetricGrinder.class);

       job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
       job.setOutputValueClass(ControllerMetric.class);

       job.setMapperClass(ControllerMetricMapper.class);

       job.setCombinerClass(ControllerMetricReducer.class);
       job.setReducerClass(ControllerMetricReducer.class);

       // COMPILE ERROR HERE
       MultipleOutputs.addMultiNamedOutput(job, "metrics",
               MetricNameMultipleTextOutputFormat.class,
               Text.class, ControllerMetric.class);

       job.setNumReduceTasks(5);

       FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
       FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));

       System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
   }
}

(mappers and reducers are using the new API, and are in separate classes).

MultipleOutputs doesn't take a Job, it only takes a JobConf. Any ideas? I'd prefer to use the new API (because I've written it that way), but I'm guessing now I'll have to go and rework everything to the OLD API to get
this to work.

I'm trying to create a File-per-metric name (there's only 5).

thoughts?

Paul
