Good afternoon,
during writing a MapReduce job, I need to get the value of some configuration
settings.
For instance, I need to get the value of "dfs.write.packet.size" inside the
reducer, so I write, using the context of the reducer:
Configuration the_conf=context.getConfiguration();
int data_packet_size=the_conf.getInt("dfs.write.packet.size",
0);
However, this does not return 64KB (which is the value by default), but it
gives 0 instead.
Could you please help me, by telling me how I can get and set the value of
these configuration parameters?
Thank you in advance,
Sofia
