Hello,
I'm working on a MapReduce job that requires some third-party jars. I know that the devs are working on [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1622] HADOOP-1622, which should make this problem easy, but for now (and for backwards compatibility), how is this best accomplished? I've tried adding the 3rd party jars to lib/ in my job-jar, so that the structure looks like so: META-INF us webmail hadoop mapred * lib third-party-one.jar third-party-two.jar ... but no luck. The job fails saying that it can't find classes that are contained in the third party jars. How are other users accomplishing this? Stu Hood Webmail.us "You manage your business.
