The most obvious workaround is to use the old API (continue to use Mapper, Reducer, etc. from org.apache.hadoop.mapred, not .mapreduce).
If you really want to use the new API, though, I unfortunately don't see a super-easy path. You could try to apply the patch from MAPREDUCE-364 to your version of Hadoop and recompile, but that might be tricky since the filenames will most likely not line up (due to the project split). - Aaron On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 8:11 AM, Aleksandar Stupar < stupar.aleksan...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I want to use CombineFileInputFormat in 0.20.2 version but it can't be used > with Job class. > > Description: > org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.CombineFileInputFormat can not be used with > org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job > because Job.setInputFormat requires subclass of > org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputFormat and CombineFileInputFormat > extends org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileInputFormat. > > Also CombineFileInputFormat uses deprecated classes. > > > Are there any workarounds? > > Thanks, > Aleksandar Stupar. > > > >
