org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData$Record cannot be cast to

[Sripad Sriram]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue similar to the one described in this thread:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-user/201205.mbox/%3cdub112-w42c6a00bdbcf4b807ca9b81...@phx.gbl%3e

Essentially, I'm building a Hadoop job using SpecificRecord outputs from my
Mapper and Reducer rather than GenericRecords and getting the exception
"org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData$Record cannot be cast to" from my
Reducer.

I'm using Hadoop 1.0 and Avro 1.7.2.

Any insights on this?

thanks!
