Hi Alex,
I'm not sure what you mean. I already set my mapper's signature to:
public class MyMapper extends Mapper<Object, BytesWritable, Text, Text> {
...
public void map(Text key, BytesWritable value, Context context)
}
}
In my map() loop the contents of value is the text from the original file
and the value.toString() returns a String of bytes as hex pairs
separated by space.
But I'd like the original tab separated list of strings (i.e. the lines
in my original files).
I see BytesWritable.getBytes() returns a byte[]. I guess I could write
my own
RecordReader to convert the byte[] back to text strings but I thought
this is
something the framework would provide.

Hi Alan,
SequenceFiles keep track of the key and value type, so you should be
able to use the Writables in the signature. Though it looks like
you're using the new API, and I admit that I'm not an expert with the
new API. Have you tried using the Writables in the signature?

To get around the small-file-problem (I have thousands of 2MB log
files) I wrote
a class to convert all my log files into a single SequenceFile in
(Text key, BytesWritable value) format. That works fine. I can
run this:
hadoop fs -text /my.seq |grep peemt114.log | head -1
10/07/08 15:02:10 INFO util.NativeCodeLoader: Loaded the
native-hadoop library
10/07/08 15:02:10 INFO zlib.ZlibFactory: Successfully loaded &

10/07/08 15:02:10 INFO compress.CodecPool: Got brand-new
decompressor
peemt114.log 70 65 65 6d 74 31 31 34 09 .........[snip].......
which shows my file name key (peemt114.log)
and file contents value which appears to be converted to hex.
The hex values up to the first tab (09) translate to my hostname.
I'm trying to adapt my mapper to use the SequenceFile as input.
I changed the job's inputFormatClass to:
MyJob.setInputFormatClass(SequenceFileInputFormat.class);
and modified my mapper signature to:
public class MyMapper extends Mapper<Object, BytesWritable,
Text, Text> {
but how do I convert the value back to Text? When I print out the
key,values using:
System.out.printf("MAPPER INKEY: [%s]\n", key);
System.out.printf("MAPPER INVAL: [%s]\n", value.toString());
I get::
MAPPER INKEY: [peemt114.log]
MAPPER INVAL: [70 65 65 6d 74 31 31 34 09 .....[snip]......]
