Hi Subroto, I mean that if I get some strings in mapper and I want to use them in reducer. But they are neither keys nor values. By the way, Can reducer get side files in cache? --

The new MR (org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.*) APIs has a parameter “context”. Request you to browse through the APIs of Context (Inherited from JobContext->TaskAttemptContext). The context parameter may provide you the reference you need.
