Brock Noland commented on MRUNIT-88:
------------------------------------
You can test the comparator and grouping comparator today with MRUnit:
See KeyGrouping and KeyOrdering comparators:
http://incubator.apache.org/mrunit/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/mrunit/MapReduceDriver.html
The partitioner cannot be tested today. Over in MRUNIT-69 Jim is working to
provide a the ability test more things, but I am not sure we will get to the
point of testing the Partitioner in the case of more than 1 reducer because
Hadoop's local job runner only allows a single reducer.
> MRUnit should support custom partitioners, comparator, and groupComparator

> Key: MRUNIT-88
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRUNIT-88
> Project: MRUnit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Matthew Rathbone
> Labels: partitioners
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h
>
> We're building something that essentially does a secondary sort, to test that
> we need to be able to specify comparators and partitioners.
> Example:
> the following two tuple keys: (id1, source1), (id1, source2)
> should be grouped together based on the first value of the tuple, and their
> records should end up in the same reducer
> To do this we have our own custom partitioner / comparator, this is what we
> need to test through the whole pipeline in this way:
> MapReduceDriver.setPartitioner(p)
> MapReduceDriver.setGroupComparator(c)
> I'm not familiar enough with the MRUnit code to add this easily, but I
> suspect it would be pretty quick to do.
