RE: how to write custom object using M/R

Hi,

I think you have to put :
            job.setOutputFormatClass(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class);
to make it works..
hopes this help

Objet : how to write custom object using M/R

Hi,

I'm trying to write (K,V) where K is a Text object and V's CustomObject. But It 
doesn't run.

I'm configuring output job like: SequenceFileInputFormat so I have job with:

        job.setMapOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
        job.setMapOutputValueClass(CustomObject.class);
        job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
        job.setOutputValueClass(CustomObject.class);

        SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path("myPath");

And I obtain the next output (this is a file: part-r-00000):

K  CustomObject@2b237512
K  CustomObject@24db06de
...

When this job finished I run other job which input is SequenceFileInputFormat 
but It doesn't run:

The configuration's second job is:

        job.setInputFormatClass(SequenceFileInputFormat.class);
        SequenceFileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path("myPath"));

But I get an error:

java.io.IOException: hdfs://localhost:30000/user/hadoop/out/part-r-00000 not a 
SequenceFile
        at org.apache.hadoop.io.SequenceFile$Reader.init(SequenceFile.java:1523)

        at 
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.SequenceFileRecordReader.initialize(SequenceFileRecordReader.java:60)


Can someone help me? Because I don't understand it. I don't know to save my 
object in first M/R and how to use it in second M/R

Thanks
