(so does MultipleOutputs, but that's another story) I wanted to know if there is a way around this - to use two different paths with two different input format (sequence file, text file) as sources to the same job, with a special mapper for each input type - using hadoop 0.20 API. I think that writing a new job using 0.19 API only means more trouble later, when it's officially deprecated. I saw there is a jira <goog_292716485> (MAPREDUCE-1170)<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1170>open for this issue, with a patch marked as "Won't fix". If someone out there can help me with this, I will be most thankful. Cheers, -- Oded
