If you extend AccumuloInputFormat to make the required protected methods public, you could do:
MyAccumuloInputFormat.getInstance(context).getConnector(My AccumuloInputFormat.getUsername(context),MyAccumuloInputFormat.getPassword(context)) with your TaskAttemptContext in the mapper/reducer. Or, you could store your own configuration options to re-construct a Connector when you set up your job (you could re-use those configuration variables we set, but that's... relying on implementation details that may change). -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 1:50 PM, Mike Hugo <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there a way to get access to the underlying connector being used by the > Accumulo Input Format inside the map method of a Mapper class?
