Hi, Owen, Did you mean that the example with a C++ record reader is not complete? I have to run this example with the class file of that WordCountInputFormat.java. Also, it seemed that the semantics of the C++ Pipes API is different from Java. A InputSplit is a chunk of a file in Java, while in C++, it seemed to be the name of a file. I got this conclution from that wordcount example.

So you mean the example with a C++ record reader? You have to use the InputFormat that generates input splits that consists of strings. Look at src/test/org/apache/hadoop/pipes/WordCountInputFormat.java It would be useful to have a C++ impl of FileInputSplit too... -- Owen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
