Hi Vikas, > 1:- How to format output from reduce( like default is tab separator can we > make it "," separator)
If you want this behaviour for all your Hadoop jobs, you have to put this into your mapred-site.xml: <property> <name>mapred.textoutputformat.separator</name> <value>,</value> </property> (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3295) To change the separator programatically for certain jobs only: final Configuration conf = getConf(); conf.set(TextOutputFormat.SEPERATOR, ","); Good Luck :) Martin
