Ashish Nagavaram updated AVRO-1215:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-1215.patch
Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation. I am attaching a new Patch with update
to function write(K,V,basepath) to accept key and value schemas. This avoids
created named outputs for every base path.
This patch also has the fix for path issues
> AvroMultipleOutputs not working when specifying baseOutputPath

> I'm calling the write() method of AvroMultipleOutputs which takes the
> baseOutputPath. The reducer appears to begin hanging once it tries writing
> to a baseOuputPath value not already encountered. It then fails with:
> org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException:
> org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.AlreadyBeingCreatedException: failed to
> create file ... because current leaseholder is trying to recreate file.
> I think the problem has to do with this line in AvroMultipleOutputs:
> {code}
> // get the record writer from context output format
> //FileOutputFormat.setOutputName(taskContext, baseFileName);
> {code}
> This line is not commented out in the similar code from Hadoop. So I think
> the baseOutputPath is ignored. As a result when each record writer is
> created it uses the same path, leading to the exception.
> Uncommenting this line does not work because of visibility of the method.
> However what this method does is set "mapreduce.output.basename". But
> setting this doesn't work either.
> After digging through Avro code I found that AvroOutputFormatBase is using
> "avro.mo.config.namedOutput" to create the path. If I replace the commented
> out line with this it seems to work:
> {code}
> taskContext.getConfiguration().set("avro.mo.config.namedOutput",
> baseFileName);
> {code}
