Sending the entire file content as value to the mapper

2013-07-11 Thread Kasi Subrahmanyam 
Hi Team,

I have a file which has semi structured text  data with no definite start
and end points.
How can i send the entire content of the file at once as key or value to
the mapper instead of line by line.

Thanks,
Subbu

Hi,

  You could send the file meta info to the map function as key/value through 
the split, and then you can read the entire file in your map function.

Thanks
