Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Actually my problem is as follows:
My code creates a new job named "job 1" which writes something to
distributed cache (say a text file) and the job gets completed.
Now, I want to create some n number of jobs in while loop below, which
reads the text file written by "job 1" from the distributed cache. So my
question is, "*How to share content among multiple jobs using distributed
cache*" ?
*Another part of the problem *is that I don't know how to get instance of
running job from
JobClient.runJob(conf2);
*so that I can use job.addcachefiles(..) command/*
while (true)
{
JobConf conf2 = new JobConf(getConf(),graphMining.class);
conf2.setJobName("sid");conf2.setMapperClass(mapperMiner.class);conf2.setReducerClass(reducerMiner.class);conf2.setInputFormat(SequenceFileInputFormat.class);conf2.setOutputFormat(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class);conf2.setOutputValueClass(BytesWritable.class);conf2.setMapOutputKeyClass(Text.class);conf2.setMapOutputValueClass(MapWritable.class);conf2.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
conf2.setNumMapTasks(Integer.parseInt(args[3]));conf2.setNumReduceTasks(Integer.parseInt(args[4]));FileInputFormat.addInputPath(conf2,
new Path(input));FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf2, new
Path(output)); }
RunningJob job = JobClient.runJob(conf2);
}
