Hi all, I tried to run a customised sort with following details ::
* I have a metafile to be sorted. So on testing basis, I created a SequenceFile format of the metafile by appending a SequenceFile generated header with the record part (i kept it in the same sequence--> record length, key length, key, value) of the metafile. * I also implemented the writables for the key and value in my records. * I also implemented the input/output formats for my records (not sure whether it is correct) * I tried running this customized Sort with the new parameters and inputfile. I also gave no. of maps , reduces both as 1. I am getting the following error :: *Task Id : attempt_201009082009_0006_m_000000_0, Status : FAILED* *Error: Java heap space* **Someone please throw some light on this... thanks, Matthew John
