Hi, I'm trying to bulk load my data into HBase via the new "HFileOutputFormat", in which I use a Mapper to read from a file and construct a KeyValue. Then I use the KeyValueSortReducer as Reducer, and limit myself to 1 reducer only, to prevent writing a custom Partitioner.
However, when running the MapReduce, I get the following error during reduce: java.io.IOException: Added a key not lexically larger than previous key=im2.jpgaspectcolor/blue1---some-color/p.995�������, lastkey=im2.jpgaspectcolor/cyan---some-color/p.995������� I thought the KeyValueSortReducer would sort the output to prevent these errors from occuring. Am I doing something wrong or should I write my own comparator which compares actual row,column pairs? Using HBase 0.20.2 and Hadoop 0.20.0 Regards, Menno Luiten
