Description

There is a problem in getting the input file name in the mapper when uisng MultipleInputs in Hadoop 0.20. I need to use MultipleInputs to support different formats for my inputs to the my MapReduce job. And inside each mapper, I also need to know the exact input file that the mapper is processing. However, conf.get("map.input.file") returns null. Can anybody help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

public class Test extends Configured implements Tool{

static class InnerMapper extends MapReduceBase implements Mapper<Writable, Writable, NullWritable, Text>
{
................
................

public void configure(JobConf conf)

{ String inputName=conf.get("map.input.file")); ....................................... }

}

public int run(String[] arg0) throws Exception

{ JonConf job; job = new JobConf(Test.class); ........................................... MultipleInputs.addInputPath(conf, new Path("A"), TextInputFormat.class); MultipleInputs.addInputPath(conf, new Path("B"), SequenceFileFormat.class); ........................................... }

}
