I have a related question - I have a class which is both mapper and
reducer. How can I tell in configure() if the current task is map or a

I have set some variable using the JobConf object.

How can I get an instance of Configuration object/ JobConf object

a map method so that I can retrieve these variables.
In your Mapper class, implement a method like:
public void configure(JobConf job) { ... }
This will be called when the object is created with the job conf.
