I'm trying to get an output from an ArrayWritable in a simple MapReduce-Task. I found a few questions with a similar problem, but I can't solve the problem in my own code. So I'm looking forward to your help. Thanks :)!
Input: Textfile with some sentence.
Output should be:
<Word, <length, number of same words in Textfile>>
Example: Hello 5 2
The output that I get in my Job is:
hello WordLength_V01$IntArrayWritable@221cf05
test WordLength_V01$IntArrayWritable@799e525a
I think the problem is in the subclass from IntArrayWritable, but I don't get the right correction to fix this. By the we have Hadoop 2.5. I use the following code to get this result:
Main Method:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Configuration conf = new Configuration();
Job job = Job.getInstance(conf, "word length V1");
// Set Classes
job.setJarByClass(WordLength_V01.class);
job.setMapperClass(MyMapper.class);
// job.setCombinerClass(MyReducer.class);
job.setReducerClass(MyReducer.class);
// Set Output and Input Parameters
job.setMapOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setMapOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setOutputValueClass(IntArrayWritable.class);
// Number of Reducers
job.setNumReduceTasks(1);
// Set FileDestination
FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));
System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
}
Mapper:
public static class MyMapper extends Mapper<Object, Text, Text, IntWritable> {
// Initialize Variables
private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
private Text word = new Text();
// Map Method
public void map(Object key, Text value, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
// Use Tokenizer
StringTokenizer itr = new StringTokenizer(value.toString());
// Select each word
while (itr.hasMoreTokens()) {
word.set(itr.nextToken());
// Output Pair
context.write(word, one);
}
}
}
Reducer:
public static class MyReducer extends Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntArrayWritable> {
// Initialize Variables
private IntWritable count = new IntWritable();
private IntWritable length = new IntWritable();
// Reduce Method
public void reduce(Text key, Iterable<IntWritable> values, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
// Count Words
int sum = 0;
for (IntWritable val : values) {
sum += val.get();
}
count.set(sum);
// Wordlength
length.set(key.getLength());
// Define Output
IntWritable[] temp = new IntWritable[2];
IntArrayWritable output = new IntArrayWritable(temp);
temp[0] = count;
temp[1] = length;
// Output
output.set(temp);
context.write(key, new IntArrayWritable(output.get()));
}
}
SubClass
public static class IntArrayWritable extends ArrayWritable {
public IntArrayWritable(IntWritable[] intWritables) {
super(IntWritable.class);
}
@Override
public IntWritable[] get() {
return (IntWritable[]) super.get();
}
@Override
public void write(DataOutput arg0) throws IOException {
for(IntWritable data : get()){
data.write(arg0);
}
}
}
I used the following links to find a solution:
- Interface Writable (hadoop.apache.org)
- Class ArrayWritable (hadoop.apache.org)
- stackoverflow.com (1)
- stackoverflow.com (2)
I'm really thankful for any idea!
-------- Solution --------
New SubClass:
public static class IntArrayWritable extends ArrayWritable {
public IntArrayWritable(IntWritable[] values) {
super(IntWritable.class, values);
}
@Override
public IntWritable[] get() {
return (IntWritable[]) super.get();
}
@Override
public String toString() {
IntWritable[] values = get();
return values[0].toString() + ", " + values[1].toString();
}
}
New Reduce Method:
public void reduce(Text key, Iterable<IntWritable> values,
Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
// Count Words
int sum = 0;
for (IntWritable val : values) {
sum += val.get();
}
count.set(sum);
// Wordlength
length.set(key.getLength());
// Define Output
IntWritable[] temp = new IntWritable[2];
temp[0] = count;
temp[1] = length;
context.write(key, new IntArrayWritable(temp));
}
