Raymond:
You can use the following code to pass value from main to your reducer
class:
@Override
protected void setup(Context context) throws IOException,
InterruptedException {
try {
Configuration conf = context.getConfiguration();
watermark = Long.parseLong(conf.get("watermark"));
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
