Hi everyone, I run multiple map/reduce jobs which are chained together. The output of one map/reduce is the input of another. There are also some integer valued variables which are outputted from one map/reduce job and used as input in the consequent one. These variables are got by summing up integer valued data having a certain key in the reduce step.
My question was - what would be the best way to share these several integer valued variables across multiply map/reduce iterations? I don't want to write each of them to a separate file in the reduce step and consequently read those files in the next iteration of map/reduce. Looking forward to all the suggestions H Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
