Hey guys, I'm trying to use AVRO inside of a map/reduce job and I'm getting
this constructor error:
2009-11-03 17:56:39,521 FATAL org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker:

at org.apache.avro.Schema.<clinit>(Schema.java:61)
On this line of code inside my M/R job:
private static Schema PROFILE_TYPE_SCHEMA = Schema.parse("{
\"type\":\"enum\", \"name\":\"Type\", \"symbols\": [\"One\",\"Two\",
\"Three\"] }");
It's weird, I was getting this same exact message inside of Idea when I
wrote a simple HelloWorld program to serialize/deserialize the
GenericRecords. So I tried executing the class directly from shell and no
longer had the problem. It was odd and I thought it was some Idea issue.
Until it cropped up with M/R job. Maybe I am including two different
versions of the same library in my classpath. I don't know.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Hiral
