hi, whats the recommended way of passing arguments to m/r jobs? based on web examples, the mapper and reducer classes are static classes. so if you have to set some parameters that the individual instances of m/r runs need to access, whats the way? im trying to do it by creating a static initialize method in mapper and reducer and configuring static variables there. i am not sure if this is the best way.
this brings me to next question - i need to create a always running daemon that schedules multiple m/r jobs everyday. it can just queue multiple jobs and wait for their completion. but then the above question becomes even more relevant. if static variables are used, then how can one queue multiple jobs on the same mapper/reducer? thanks
