Did you try using MultipleOutputs Class.
Sent from Windows Mail From: Sanjay Subramanian Sent: Friday, 24 May 2013 11:13 PM To: [email protected] Hey guys Is there a way to dynamically change the input dir and outputdir I have the following CONSTANT directories in HDFS /path/to/input/9999-99-99 (empty directory ) /path/to/output/9999-99-99 (empty directory) A new directory with yesterdays date like /path/to/input/2013-05-23 gets created every day I set the job params mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.inputdir=/path/to/input/9999-99-99 mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.outputdir=/path/to/output/9999-99-99 But in my Mapper I thought I can sneak in this code….But it does not work ? protected void setup(Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException{ org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration hadoopConf = ((JobContext)context).getConfiguration(); String inputDir = hadoopConf.get("mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.inputdir"); String outputDir = hadoopConf.get("mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.outputdir"); String yesterdaysDate =DateUtils.getDayYYYYMMDD("-", -1); String inputDirUseThis = inputDir.replaceAll("9999-99-99", yesterdaysDate); String outputDirUseThis = inputDir.replaceAll("9999-99-99", yesterdaysDate); hadoopConf.set("mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.inputdir",inputDirUseThis); hadoopConf.set("mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.outputdir",outputDirUseThis); } Thanks sanjay CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ====================== This email message and any attachments are for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
