Hi Ted, I guess I didn't make it clear enough. I don't have a file to start with. When I run the program, I pass in an argument. The program, before doing its map/red jobs, is supposed to create a file on the DFS, and saves whatever I just passed in. And my trouble is, I am not sure how to create such a file so that both the key and values are clear Text, and they can subsequently be read by KeyValueTextInputFormat.
