[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-115?page=all ]
Teppo Kurki updated HADOOP-115:
-------------------------------
Attachment: hadoop-115_tk.patch
(1) adds JobConf.set/getMapKey/ValueClass
(2) changes in ReduceTask so that the Map phase classes are used in append &
sort
(3) explicit key and value class specification in OutputFormat.getRecordWriter
so that they are not automatically pulled out of JobConf
Tests run ok, but I haven't added tests for different Map/Reduce key/value
classes.
Owen's suggestion on automatically typing the OutputFormat when the first
record is written would cause changes in fewer classes, but I had this already
working...
> Hadoop should allow the user to use SequentialFileOutputformat as the output
> format and to choose key/value classes that are different from those for map
> output.

> When map tasks write intermediate data out, they always use SequencialFile
> RecordWriter with key/value classes from the job object.
> When the reducers write the final results out, its output format is obtained
> from the job object. By default, it is TextOutputFormat, and no conflicts.
> However, if one wants to use SequencialFileFormat for the final results, then
> the key/value classes are also obtained from the job object, the same as the
> map tasks' output. Now we have a problem. It is impossible for the map
> outputs and reducer outputs use different key/value classes, if one wants the
> reducers generate outputs in SequentialFileFormat.
> A simple fix would be to add another two attributes to JobConf class:
> mapOutputLeyClass and mapOutputValueClass. That allows the user to have
> different key/value classes for the intermediate and final outputs.
