A quick google search for "mapreduce new api" came up with a link for http://wisdombase.net/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrading_to_the_new_2.0_mapreduce_API. After quickly reviewing it I would say this is a decent reference that you can follow. There are definitely some better ones out there but this is just to help you get started.

Matt, Neither of the books have much information about the new MR API. I was reading the 'Hadoop - The Definitive Guide' and came across a single pager on new API. I wanted to try the new MR, but could not find much information neither in the book nor on the internet.

If you want to take a look at the classes dig into the packages for org.apache.hadoop.mapred.* (old) and org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.* (new). Also, I thought that Definitive Guide second edition and Hadoop In Action covered the new api.

Hi, Normally the Hadoop framework calls the map()/reduce() for each record in the input split. I read in the 'Hadoop : The Definitive Guide' that that data can be pulled using the new MR API. What is the new API for pulling the data in the map()/reduce() or is there a sample code?
