I have set some variable using the JobConf object.

jobConf.set("Operator", operator) etc.

How can I get an instance of Configuration object/ JobConf object inside

a map method so that I can retrieve these variables.

In your Mapper class, implement a method like:
 public void configure(JobConf job) { ... }

This will be called when the object is created with the job conf.
