I'm just getting started using AVRO within Map/Reduce and trying to
convert some existing non-AVRO code to use AVRO input. So far the data
that previously was stored in tab delimited files has been converted to
.avro successfully as checked with avro-tools.
Where I'm getting hung up extending beyond my book-based examples is in
attempting to read from AVRO (using generic records) where the mapper
output is NOT in AVRO format. I can't seem to reconcile extending
AvroMapper and NOT using AvroCollector.
Here are snippets of code that show my non-AVRO M/R code and my
[failing] attempts to make this change. If anyone can help me along it
would be very much appreciated.

Pre-Avro version: (Works fine with .tsv input format)
public static class HdFlowMapper extends MapReduceBase
implements Mapper<Text, HdFlowWritable, LongPair,
HdFlowWritable> {
@Override
public void map(Text key, HdFlowWritable value,
OutputCollector<LongPair, HdFlowWritable> output,
Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
...//
outKey = new LongPair(value.getSrcIp(), value.getFirst());
HdFlowWritable outValue = value; // pass it all through
output.collect(outKey, outValue);
}
AVRO attempt:
conf.setOutputFormat(TextOutputFormat.class);
conf.setOutputKeyClass(LongPair.class);
conf.setOutputValueClass(AvroFlowWritable.class);
SCHEMA = new Schema.Parser().parse(NetflowSchema);
AvroJob.setInputSchema(conf, SCHEMA);
//AvroJob.setOutputSchema(conf, SCHEMA);
AvroJob.setMapperClass(conf, AvroFlowMapper.class);
AvroJob.setReducerClass(conf, AvroFlowReducer.class);
....
public static class AvroFlowMapper<K> extends AvroMapper<K,
OutputCollector> {
@Override
** IDE: "Method does not override or implement a method from a
supertype"
public void map(K datum, OutputCollector<LongPair,
AvroFlowWritable> collector, Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
GenericRecord record = (GenericRecord) datum;
afw = new AvroFlowWritable(record);
// ...
collector.collect(outKey, afw);
}
