Hi Pavan,
Thanks a lot. That will be great.
Based on your inputs I wrote an implementation to support my scenario.
Which include writing a mapping input format.
But I am not clear how to get input into this mapping input format.(How to
specify an input path for a MappingInputformat).
I looked into ConfigurationUtils but It did not have any option to do that.
It will be great if you could give me some input on how to handle this
matter. I am attaching my mapping input format just in case that is
helpful.
Thanks,
Charith
