Doug Cutting updated AVRO-581:
------------------------------
Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available)
Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed]
Resolution: Fixed
> Could we do a similar thing for the Avro API?
Sure. I made it so that, with a map-only job, you can call either
setOutputSchema() or setMapOutputSchema().
> Otherwise, I'm +1 on this.
Thanks for the reviews!
I just committed this.
> java: add reducer that separates keys and values when map output is pairs

> We should add a Pair<K,V> class, implementing SpecificRecord, that combines
> instances of two schemas (specific or generic). Pairs would be compared by
> key, ignoring value. The template for its schema would be:
> {code}
> {"type": "record", "name": "org.apache.avro.mapred.Pair", "fields":[
> {"name": "key", "type":" <<insert key schema here>>},
> {"name": "value", "order": "ignore", "type": <<insert value schema>>}
> ]}
> {code}
> When map outputs are instances of this class, a reducer may be used whose
> reduce method is something like:
> public abstract void reduce(K key, Iterable<V> values);
