Hi, I am trying to override mapred-site.xml (more specifically mapred.compress.map.output and mapred.output.compression. codec) from the command line when I execute the jar. I have been using hadoop jar <jarname> <class> - Dmapred.compress.map.output=true and -Dmapred.output.compression.codec=org.apache.hadoop.io.SnappyCodec
The above doesnt work as the job.xml for the jar still uses the default properties and not the one i specify here. Is there a different approach to override these properties. I am submitting jobs from a client machine that has the same version of configuration files as my cluster. Thanks Sid
