Hi Henning, Thanks again. Let me explain my scenario first so you make a better sense out of my question . I have a web application running on glassfish server. Every 24 hours Quartz job runs on the server and I need to call set of Hadoop jobs one after the other, read the final output and store in a database. I have the logic of starting the jobs in a Driver class that I can call from the Quartz job.
Now my questions: 1. Where does the multi jar Vs single jar come into the picture here (since my driver class is residing on glassfish server) 2. Given the above scenario, could you suggest a workable solution (if you are already doing something similar). BTW I am able to run the driver class from Hadoop command line using "one jar" approach.

I suppose on of these (if not user.name) define the user that submits. But I haven't tried and I am sure others know better. Why is that actually important? Why not submit as the user you are? About submitting multiple jars: AFAIK the standard way is to submit everything in one jar. Henning ps.: We are developing something based on www.z2-environment.eu<http://www.z2-environment.eu> that will complement Hadoop with automatic on-demand update on the task node. But it's not public yet. On Wed, 2010-11-24 at 00:10 +0100, praveen.pe...@nokia.com wrote: Hi Henning, Putting core-site.xml in classpath worked. Thanks for the help.

I have following questions based on experiments. Exaclty. I didn't mean to add the whole folder. Just the one file with those props. 1. How can I access HDFS or submit jobs as different user than my java app is running. For example, Hadoop cluster is setup for "hadoop" user and my java app is runnign as different user. In order to run the job correctly, I have to submit it as "hadoop" user. correct? How to achive it programitcally? We always run everything with the same user (now that you mention it). Didn't know that we would have a problem otherwise. I would have suspected that the submitting user doesn't matter (setting the corresponding system property would probably override that one anyway). 2. Few of the jobs I am calling is provided by the library which means I cannot add these two config properties myself. Is there any way around this other than replicating the job submission code from the library to locally? Yes, I think creating a core-site.xml file as below, putting it into <folder> (any folder you like will do) and adding <folder> to your classpath when submitting should do the trick (as I tried to explain before and if I am not mistaken).

I am using the following code to submit each job but it uses local hadoop jar files that is in the classpath. Its not submitting the job to Hadoop cluster. I thought I would need to specify where the master Hadoop is located on remote machine. Example command I use from command line is as follows but I need to do it from my Java program. $ hadoop-0.20.2/bin/hadoop jar /home/ppeddi/dev/Merchandising/RelevancyEngine/relevancy-core/dist/Relevancy4.jar -i raw-downloads-input-10K -o reco-patterns-output-10K-1S -k 100 -method mapreduce -g 500 -regex '[\ ]' -s 5 I hope I made the question clear now.

We are using the "new" org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.* API in Hadoop 0.20.2. Essentially the flow is: //---- // assuming all config is on the class path Configuration config = new Configuration(); Job job = new Job(config, "some job name"); // set in/out types job.setInputFormatClass(...); job.setOutputFormatClass(...); job.setMapOutputKeyClass(...); job.setMapOutputValueClass(...); job.setOutputKeyClass(...); job.setOutputValueClass(...); // set implementations as required job.setMapperClass(<your mapper implementation class object>); job.setCombinerClass(<your combiner implementation class object>); job.setReducerClass(<your reducer implementation class object>); // set the jar... this is often the tricky part! job.setJarByClass(<some class that is in the job jar and not elsewhere higher up on the class path>); job.submit(); //---- Hope I didn't forget anything. Note: You need to give Hadoop something it can launch in a JVM that has no more but the hadoop jars and whatever else you configured statically in your hadoop-env.sh script. Can you describe your scenario in more detail?

I was able to run my map reduce job using hadoop command from hadoop master machine but my goal is to run the same job from my java program (running on a different machine than master). I googled and could not find solution for this. All the examples I have seen so far are using hadoop from command line to start a job. 1. Has anyone called Hadoop job invocation from a Java application? 2. If so, could someone provide some sample code. 3.
