Hi I'm trying to write a chained mapreduce program. i'm doing so with a simple loop where in each iteration i
create a job ,execute it and every time the current job's output is the next job's input. how can i configure the outputFormat of the current job and the inputFormat of the next job so that i will not use the TextInputFormat (TextOutputFormat), because if i do use it, i need to parse the input file in the Map function? i.e if possible i want the next job to "consider" the input file as <key,value> and not plain Text. Thanks a lot.
