Hi, Let me rephrase my question to see if anybody is interested in answering it. For the new version of Avro 1.4.0, the class hierarchy of AvroMapper and AvroReducer have been changed to subclass from Configured, rather than from MapReduceBase to implement the interfaces Mapper and Reducer respectively. The configuration of Avro mapred jobs are also different from that of the other mapred jobs. Furthermore, text log files have to be imported to become Avro formats for Avro mapred jobs to process. If I get a mapred job that requires a reducer-side join of a two inputs, one from HBase and the other from an imported log file with the Avro format, how can I configure the two mappers to process inputs from HBase and the log file respectively? Also how can I configure an Avro reducer to generate multiple outputs? For multiple inputs and outputs, I got some examples programs from Tom White's Hadoop book. But I simply don't know what kind of changes I should make for the Avro case. Ey-Chih

One of the inputs will be processed by a mapper and a reducer that are subclasses of AvroMapper/AvroReducer respectively. And the reducer has multiple outputs. I appreciate if anybody could let me know how to configure the job to do this. Ey-Chih
