Tom White updated HADOOP-1090: ------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) I've just committed this. Thanks Arun! > In SortValidator, the check for whether a file belongs to sort-input or > sort-output dir is weak > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1090 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1090 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.12.2 > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assigned To: Arun C Murthy > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-1090_20070331_1.patch > > > In SortValidator, Maps invoke the method called deduceInputFile in the > configure method. The deduceInputFile is supposed to return whether the input > file belongs to the sort-input directory or the sort-output directory. > However, the check that deduceInputFile does - > inputFile.toString().startsWith(inputPaths[0].toString()) - is not totally > correct. The check will always returns true for inputPaths like > /user/foo/smallInput/<filenames>, /user/foo/smallInput-sorted/<filenames>. > This finally causes the SortValidator to declare the sort output as incorrect. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
