Hi Murat,
As Praveenesh explained, you can control the map outputs as you want.
map() function will be called for each input i.e map() function invokes
multiple times with different inputs in the same mapper. You can check by
having the logs in the map function what is happening in it.
Thanks
Devaraj

Subject: Re: What happens when I do not output anything from my mapper
You can control your map outputs based on any condition you want. I have
done that - it worked for me.
It could be your code problem that its not working for you.
Can you please share your map code or cross-check whether your conditions
are correct ?
Regards,
Praveenesh
