Thanks Harsh :) I'll try it. Also, I'm wondering which of the following is true:
When I set a whole file as a split for a mapper, 1) is the file only opened and the record reader reads from disk record by record ? 2) Or Part of the file is read into memory and the record reader get the record-by-record from memory ? Assuming the single-thread mapper class. Thanks, Maha On Mar 22, 2011, at 11:22 AM, Harsh J wrote: > NullOutputFormat
