Hi, GenericOptionsParser is customized only for Hadoop specific params : * <code>GenericOptionsParser</code> recognizes several standarad command * line arguments, enabling applications to easily specify a namenode, a * jobtracker, additional configuration resources etc.
Ideally, all params must be passed via Tool interface. In my application, I have a custom serialiizer/deseralizer classes to parse any xml file I might be supplying, which I use to generate some metadata. This can be a part of the above interface as well. Hope this helps. Thanks, Amogh -----Original Message----- From: ishwar ramani [mailto:rvmish...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 1:38 AM To: common-user Subject: passing job arguments as an xml file Hi, I am looking at an easy way to passing the job arguments trough a config file. The genericoptionsparser seems to parse only the hadoop options. Normally i use jsap but that would not co-exist with genericoptionsparser .... thanks ishwar
