You might want to chase down leads around https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-606. It looks like there is a patch for it on Jira but I am not quite sure if it is working. If it is worth it to you to keep it in python then it might be worth it to tinker with the patch...
HTH, Matt -----Original Message----- From: Hassen Riahi [mailto:hassen.ri...@cern.ch] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 3:50 PM To: mapreduce-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Re: mapreduce and python Thanks Matt for your reply...
