Hey Jeff , I gave the command :
bin/hadoop jar hadoop-0.20.2-examples.jar sort -libjars ./build/hadoop-0.20.3-dev-core.jar -inFormat org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MetafileInputFormat -outFormat org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MetafileOutputFormat -outKey org.apache.hadoop.io.FpMetaId -outValue org.apache.hadoop.io.FpMetadata fp_input fp_output where hadoop-0.20.3-dev-core.jar is the new core jar (using command ant jar) whereas hadoop-0.20.2-examples.jar is still the same old examples jar file (I couldnot make the new examples jar using ant examples since I doesnt have the latest dependencies on the new classes i have defined). the other parameters are the new classes I want to use for running Sort. I feel I should make the new examples jar but dont know how to .. :( :( .. please tell me how to give new core jar as a parameter to run the ant examples. I am getting the following errors when i ran the command.. : java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MetafileInputFormat.. and so on ... Thanks, Matthew
