I have a text file:
10 1 15
10 12 30
10 9 45
10 8 40
10 15 55
12 9 0
12 7 18
12 10 1
9 1 1
9 2 1
9 0 1
14 5 5
And I would like to get this file as an output of my MapReduce job:
9 0 1
9 1 1
9 2 1
10 1 15
10 9 40
10 9 45
10 12 30
10 15 55
12 7 18
12 9 0
12 10 1
14 5 5
It means it has to be sorted by 1st, 2nd and 3rd columns.
I use this command:
#!/bin/bash
IN_DIR="/user/cloudera/temp"
OUT_DIR="/user/cloudera/temp_out"
NUM_REDUCERS=1
hdfs dfs -rmr ${OUT_DIR} > /dev/null
hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-streaming.jar \
-D mapred.jab.name="Parsing mista pages job 1 (parsing)" \
-D stream.num.map.output.key.fields=3 \
-D mapreduce.job.output.key.comparator.class=org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.partition.KeyFieldBasedComparator \
-D mapreduce.partition.keycomparator.options='-k1,1n -k2,2n -k3,3n' \
-D mapreduce.job.reduces=${NUM_REDUCERS} \
-mapper 'cat' \
-reducer 'cat' \
-input ${IN_DIR} \
-output ${OUT_DIR}
hdfs dfs -cat ${OUT_DIR}/* | head -100
And get exactly what I want. BUT. When I do NUM_REDUCERS=2 I get this output:
[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ hdfs dfs -cat /user/cloudera/temp_out/part-00000 | head -100
9 1 1
10 9 45
10 12 30
10 15 55
12 7 18
12 10 1
14 5 5
[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ hdfs dfs -cat /user/cloudera/temp_out/part-00001 | head -100
9 0 1
9 2 1
10 1 15
10 9 40
12 9 0
Why partitioner splits my data with same keys (for example '9') to different reducers?
How can I force partitioner to split Mapper output by the key and sort it by value. For example, if I have 4 reducers the reducers input should be:
reducer 1
9 0 1
9 1 1
9 2 1
reducer 2
10 1 15
10 9 40
10 9 45
10 12 30
10 15 55
reducer 3
12 7 18
12 9 0
12 10 1
reducer 4:
14 5 5
