Need some more help. I wrote sequence file using below code but now when I
run mapreduce job I get "file.*java.lang.ClassCastException*:
org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable cannot be cast to
org.apache.hadoop.io.Text" even though I didn't use LongWritable when I
originally wrote to the sequence
//Code to write to the sequence file. There is no LongWritable here
org.apache.hadoop.io.Text key = *new* org.apache.hadoop.io.Text();
BufferedReader buffer = *new* BufferedReader(*new* FileReader(filePath));
String line = *null*;
org.apache.hadoop.io.Text value = *new* org.apache.hadoop.io.Text();
*try* {
writer = SequenceFile.*createWriter*(fs, conf, path, key.getClass(),
value.getClass(), SequenceFile.CompressionType.*RECORD*);
*int* i = 1;
*long* timestamp=System.*currentTimeMillis*();
*while* ((line = buffer.readLine()) != *null*) {
key.set(String.*valueOf*(timestamp));
value.set(line);
writer.append(key, value);
i++;
}
