SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path) should set the Output Format Class to SequenceFileOutputFormat ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5833 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5833 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Bug Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.20.0 Reporter: Daniel Leffel Priority: Minor The documentation references that OutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path) sets the job up appropriately. However, that's not the case for SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path). This has tripped up more than one new user. SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path) should call both the superclass method as well as job.setOutputFormatClass(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
