Hi Pankaj AFAIK You can do the same. Just provide the properties like mapper class, reducer class, input format, output format etc using -D option at run time.

Right now I supply the jar to use for running the map-reduce job using the setJarByClass function on org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job. This makes my code depend on a class in the MR job at compile. What I want is to be able to run an MR job without being dependent on it at compile time. It would be great if I could use a jar that contains the Mapper and Reducer classes and just pass it to run the map reduce job. That would make it easy to choose an MR job to run at runtime. Is that possible? Thanks in Advance, Pankaj
