Thanks Manish. you are correct. I figured it out somehow.
This is what i had to change.
In the main class
*
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.set("filename", "Syn-100n-8t-2l-2k.vars");
*
*JobConf conf = new JobConf(config,Hadoop_GNTS.class);*
*
*
In the Map class
*
public void configure(JobConf job)
{
myfilename = job.get("filename");
}
*
*
*
Thanks
*
