hello, all, As a newbie, I have been used to the (k1,v1,k2,v2) format parameter list for map and reduce methods in mapper and reducer(as is written in many books), but after several failures, I found in 0.20+, if we extends from base class org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper, the map should be something like this:
void map(KEYIN key, VALUEIN value, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException A little confusing to me. My question is why the old fashion map interface deprecated? thanks! -- best wishes. steven
