Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to implement a total sort using the InputSampler.RandomSampler and TotalOrderPartitioner with avro mapreduce? I tried adding the following lines to my job:

InputSampler.Sampler<AvroKey, AvroValue> sampler = new InputSampler.RandomSampler<AvroKey, AvroValue>(0.1, 10000, 10);
InputSampler.writePartitionFile(jobConf, sampler);
jobConf.setPartitionerClass(TotalOrderPartitioner.class);
DistributedCache.addCacheFile(new URI(TotalOrderPartitioner.getPartitionFile(jobConf)), jobConf);

But that just gives me:

12/08/15 17:23:05 INFO partition.InputSampler: Using 10000 samples
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable cannot be cast to org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroWrapper

Hey Steven,

This is a genuine bug in MR. I've filed
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4574 and will work on
it by this week's end.
