What is the correct way to get a string back from a mapper or reducer

[Chris MacKenzie]

Hi,

I have the following code and am using hadoop 2.4:

In my driver:
        Configuration conf = new Configuration();
        conf.set("sub", "help");
        Š..
        String s = conf.get("sub²);

In my reducer:
        Configuration conf = context.getConfiguration();
        conf.set("sub", "Test²);

When I test the value in the driver, it isn¹t updated following the reduce


Best,
