I am able to set it via the API. Configuration.setBoolean(mapred.output.compress,true). This works!

But the -D from the command line still doesn't work. Any idea what I may be missing here?

Some additional info - Also when I try running the -D on command line on a local cluster (pseudo distributed mode) it works, but when I try it on a fully distributed cluster running jobs from a client machine it doesn't work. Is there a different way for setting it in this case - in hadoop-env perhaps?

Thanks

    Mayank,
    I dont have a final tag for that property set. I looked at the
    mapred-default.xml in the src/mapred folder and that doesn't have
    a final tag too. Should I set it explicitly to false?

You should do it explicitly.
You should read the excellent blog post from Lars Francke where he did a great job explaining parameter by parameter and why is recommendable to set them to final.

        Check your mapred site xml if these parameters have
        <final>true</final>

        making final to false should solve your problem.

            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
