Jay, That link is for 0.22 docs. Its not deprecated in 0.20/1.0 which is what you are probably using. See the right http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/Job.html page.
Right ways: In 0.20.x or 1.x: Job job = new Job(); Moving to 2.x: Job job = Job.getInstance(); On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 9:02 AM, Jay Vyas <jayunit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi guys : I have noticed that the comments for this class encourage us to > use the Job constructors, yet, they are deprecated. > > http://hadoop.apache.org/mapreduce/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/Job.html > > What is the idiomatic way to create a Job in hadoop ?
