Good evening,
I would like to ask you a question regarding the use of TotalOrderPartitioner. I am working on my diploma thesis, and I need to use the TotalOrderPartitioner (with the InputSampler of course), under Hadoop 0.20.2 In order to use it, I need to apply the patch (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-366), but it fails for some reason. If I am correct, the patch modifies the TotalOrderPartitioner & InputSampler classes in the org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib package, in order to deprecate them and then it specifies 2 new classes to be used: TotalOrderPartitioner & InputSampler in org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.partitioner, using the new API. I would like to ask, if someone has successfully applied the patch. Could he send me the new classes (TotalOrderPartitioner and InputSampler) from their hadoop installation, after the patch is applied? (it affects the 2 classes both in org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib and org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.partitioner packages). Or at least you could suggest another solution? I hope this will not consume your time. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I need these two classes in order to finish my diploma thesis, and I don't know from who I should ask for help. Thank you very much in advance, Sofia Georgiakaki undergraduate student department of Electronic & Computer Engineering Technical University of Crete, Greece
