What do you think is the type of the property value that you are trying to write? Is it string? Or numeric? Have you check the documentation of the Configuration class that I sent earlier?
There are multiple setXXX methods depending on the type of the property value being set: https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.html#setLong(java.lang.String, long) For the other case below, why are you setting the job object (first parameter) as null? FileInputFormat.setMaxInputSplitSize(null, 102400); Check out the documentation here: http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.4.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/lib/input/FileInputFormat.html#setMaxInputSplitSize(org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job, long) Lastly, conf.set("mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.maxsize", "102400"); VS. job.getConfiguration().set("mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.maxsize", "102400"); is just a matter of how you are referencing the configuration object. Either as its own reference of through chained called from the job object. That is programming style decision and has no bearing on it.
