Hi, in my UDF (Java) the following code throws and NPE, when executed in -x mapred mode:
Configuration jobConf = UDFContext.getUDFContext().getJobConf(); System.err.println(jobConf.toString()); I did not find any useful information as why my JobConf is always null. All I find is that this is the right way to get the JobConf in a UDF and that the behavior of what is returned when running locally (jira issue). Any ideas? I am running it on a very old Hadoop version 0.20.2 Are there some known issues? Many thanks in advanced
