Hello Everyone, I have a small issue with my Reducer that I am trying to figure out and wanted some advice.
In the reducer, when writing to the output file as declared in FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath() I want to write only the key and not the value when I am calling output.collect(). Is there a way I can ignore the key part? Else, Can I write a Reducer function that doesn't do a output.collect()?? Say I omit the FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath() in the Driver Class. I can then manually write the output to HDFS in the format I like. Is this legal way to do stuff? Many thanks in advance! Warm Regards Arko
