No Support for setting MapFileOutputFormat in newer API

Abhinav M Kulkarni 2012-07-27, 06:16

Hi,

I was trying to set output format class using job.setOutputFormatClass()
in newer API (org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce), however the method does not
accept 'MapFileOutputFormat.class' argument. And MapFileOutputFormat is
imported from older API (org.apache.hadoop.mapred) in Eclipse and there
seems to be no equivalent version of it under
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce (newer API).

Is it the simple case of newer API lacking support for producing map files?

Thanks.

HI Abhinav

MapFileOutputFormat is currently not available for the new mapreduce
API in hadoop 1.x . However a jira is in place to accommodate it in
the future releases.
