I think the first problem you are having is that you changed the signature of the map method incorrectly. public void map(Text key, Text value, Context context) The type of key should be LongWritable. Key is an integer representing the offset of the line. Value is the entire line of text. Try : public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, Context context) Adjust accordingly and you should be ok. (at least until the next problem :)
