Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to get a hold of the task id inside a mapper? I cant' seem to find a way by trolling through the API reference. I'm trying to implement a Map Reduce version of Latent Dirichlet Allocation and I need to be able to initialize a random number generator in a task specific way so that if the task fails and is rerun elsewhere, the results are the same. Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Mark Desnoyer
