Sanjay Dahiya updated HADOOP-619: --------------------------------- Attachment: Hadoop-619_1.patch Thanks owen for review. This patch includes review comments and removes hidden files in directory listing on jobtracker end while generating splits. > Unify Map-Reduce and Streaming to take the same globbed input specification > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-619 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-619 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.9.1 > Reporter: eric baldeschwieler > Assigned To: Sanjay Dahiya > Fix For: 0.10.0 > > Attachments: Hadoop-619.patch, Hadoop-619.patch, Hadoop-619.patch, > Hadoop-619_1.patch, Hadoop-619_1.patch > > > Right now streaming input is specified very differently from other map-reduce > input. It would be good if these two apps could take much more similar input > specs. > In particular -input in streaming expects a file or glob pattern while MR > takes a directory. It would be cool if both could take a glob patern of > files and if both took a directory by default (with some patern excluded to > allow logs, metadata and other framework output to be safely stored). > We want to be sure that MR input is backward compatible over this change. I > propose that a single file should be accepted as an input or a single > directory. Globs should only match directories if the paterns is '/' > terminated, to avoid massive inputs specified by mistake. > Thoughts? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
