Map Recude code doubt

2009-10-15 Thread shwitzu

Hello All,

I was wondering if our map reduce code can just return the location of the
file? Or place the actual file in a given output directory by searching
based on a keyword.

Let me make myself clear

If there are 100 image files in my HDFS and I want to extract one image
file. If I give a keyword which matches the name of a file in my HDFS will
my mapper and  reducer code be able to locate that file and put back the 
original file in a given location??

Please let me know if you have need more information.

Thanks

Shwitzu,

Why can't you just use query thru a Filesystem object and find the file 
you want?
