Hello everyone, Is it necessary to redirect the ouput of reduce to a file? When I am trying to run the same M-R job more than once, it throws an error that the output file already exists. I dont want to use command line args so I hard coded the file name into the program.
So, Is there a way , I could delete a file on HDFS programatically? or can i skip setting a output file path n just have my output print to console? or can I just append to an existing file? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -Sharath
