Hello,
During the build of inputformat i get the following error:
[javac] /home/sguha/distr/mapred/SListInputFormat.java:118: incompatible types
[javac] found : java.lang.String
[javac] required: org.apache.hadoop.io.Text
[javac] slist_name = job.get("testfoo");
The method where this is happening is
public void configure(JobConf job){
slist_name = job.get("testfoo");
}
//slist_name is a String
I notice that JobConf is a subclass onf Configuration. I checked the
sources of the later and indeed there is the method
public String get(String name) {
return substituteVars(getProps().getProperty(name));
}
So why do I get the above error?
My java is fresh (a few weeks old) and I know this is not the correct
way to approach Hadoop programming but i need to implement an idea as
soon as possible.
I appreciate your help.
