@Todd: I do need the sorting behavior, eventually. However, I'll try it with zero reduce jobs to see.
@Alex: Yes, I was planning on incrementally building my mapper and reducer functions so currently, the mapper takes the value and multiplies by the gain and adds the offset and outputs a new key/value pair. Started to run the tests but didn't know about how long it should take with the parameters you listed below. However, it seemed like there was no progress being made. Ran it with a increasing parameter values and results are included below: Here is a run with nrFiles 1 and fileSize 10 had...@cluster-1:/usr/lib/hadoop$ hadoop jar hadoop-0.20.2+228-test.jar TestDFSIO -write -nrFiles 1 -fileSize 10 TestFDSIO.0.0.4 10/04/12 11:57:18 INFO mapred.FileInputFormat: nrFiles = 1 10/04/12 11:57:18 INFO mapred.FileInputFormat: fileSize (MB) = 10 10/04/12 11:57:18 INFO mapred.FileInputFormat: bufferSize = 1000000 10/04/12 11:57:18 INFO mapred.FileInputFormat: creating control file: 10 mega bytes, 1 files 10/04/12 11:57:19 INFO mapred.FileInputFormat: created control files for: 1 files 10/04/12 11:57:19 WARN mapred.JobClient: Use GenericOptionsParser for parsing the arguments.
