HI, Could you please suggest what classes and another better way to achieve this:-
I am getting outputcollector in my reduce function as: void reduce(....) { output.collect(key,value); } Here key is Text, and value is Custom class type that I generated from rcc. 1. After all calls are complete to reduce function, I need to eliminate certain rows in this outputformat based on keys. I guess I need to store this outputformat in some static Map(declared in Reduce class) and need to do required operations from the Main function. Is this right approach? 2. This stored outputformat I want to use for another Map Reduce job. What classes and format should I use in the previous step so that I can easily use this as input in another program invoking MR job.
