Hi, I am trying to use MultipleOutputs in Reducer. For that, I am trying to construct its object using in Reducer.setup() as follows:
public static class MOReduce extends Reducer<Text, Integer, Text, Integer> { private MultipleOutputs mos; public void setup( Reducer.Context context ) { mos = new MultipleOutputs( *context.getConfiguration()* ); } But I am facing problem because of following: - as per the documentation<http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/Reducer.html#setup%28org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer.Context%29>, setup function takes Reducer.Context as argument - while as per this documentation<http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/lib/MultipleOutputs.html#MultipleOutputs%28org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf%29>, MultipleOutputs constructor needs JobConf. So, basically *I have no way to extract JobConf from Reducer.Context* - I already tried for any function like Reducer.Context.getConfXXX which returns JobConf but there is just one function getConfiguration() which returns JobContext So, can you please suggest how I can solve this problem and instantiate the MultipleOutputs object. -- Regards, Piyush Kansal
