trying to write output to a file whose name i can have control over

[Giridhar Addepalli]

Hi,

 

I am using hadoop 0.20.2

Maperduce framework by default writes output to part-r-0000 etc.

I want to write to a file with different name.

 

I am trying to override "getDefaultWorkFile" method in TextOutputFormat
class.

I am getting following error :

 

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not create a Path from a null
string

                at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.checkPathArg(Path.java:78)
