Reading custom inputformat from hadoop dfs

[Arun Kumar]

Hi

I am trying to read some custom sequence file from hadoop file system. The
CustomInputFormat Class implements InputFormat<WritableComparable,
Writable> . I am able to read the file in JavaRDD as follows

JobConf job = new JobConf();

FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, new Path(input));

JavaPairRDD<WritableComparable, Writable> rdd =
spark.hadoopRDD(job, CustomInputFormat.class, WritableComparable.class,
Writable.class);

But I want to read directly from scala api, I am trying as follows


val job = new JobConf();

FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, new Path(input));

spark.hadoopRDD(job, classOf[CustomInputFormat],
classOf[WritableComparable[Object]], classOf[Writable]);


I am getting the following error:

[error] argument expression's type is not compatible with formal parameter
type;

[error]  found   : java.lang.Class[CustomInputFormat]

[error]  required: java.lang.Class[_ <:
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.InputFormat[?K,?V]]


But my CustomInputFormat Class implements InputFormat<WritableComparable,
Writable>. Is the generics causing the compilation problem?
WritableComparable expects a type parameter.
