Yes, the goal is to upgade to 0.22 or higher. The problem is that 0.22 doesn't have the old mapred API so we can only upgrade to 0.22 is all jobs are ported.
I thought the entire mapred package was deprecated but it seems that class is not deprecated. It feels a bit strange though, this still means that if we port all jobs to the new API, we still have to move all imports for this class from mapred to mapreduce before we can compile with 0.22. Ah well, it better than nothing. thanks > On 14/12/2011 18:30, Markus Jelsma wrote: > > proper link: > > > > http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.205.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/ma > > preduce/lib/output/package-summary.html > > I thought the goal was to upgrade to 0.22, where this class is present. > In 0.20.205 org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapFileOutputFormat still uses the > old api, and it's not deprecated yet.
