Hello Everybody, I have a doubt in a map reduce program and I would appreciate any help. I run the program using the command bin/hadoop jar HomeWork.jar prg1 input output. Ideally from within prg1, I want to sequentially launch 10 map- reduce tasks. I want to store the output of all these map reduce tasks in some file. Currently I have kept the input format and output format of the jobs as TextInputFormat and TextOutputFormat respectively. Now I have the following questions.
1. When I run more than 1 task from the same program, the output file of all the tasks is same. The framework does not allows the 2 map reduce task to have the same output file as task 1. 2. Before the 2 task launches I also get this error Cannot initialize JVM Metrics with processName=JobTracker, sessionId= - already initialized 3. When the 2 map reduce tasks writes its output to file "output", wont the previous content of this file get over written ? Thank You Abhishek Agrawal SUNY- Buffalo (716-435-7122)
