I am able to compile my code. When I run in hadoop I am getting the following error with the combiner

12/04/17 19:59:29 INFO mapred.JobClient:  map 100% reduce 27%

        at org.apache.hadoop.contrib.utils.join.DataJoinReducerBase.regroup(DataJoinReducerBase.java:106)

The command I use to run hadoop is
/hadoop/core/bin/hadoop jar /export/scratch/lopez/Join/DataJoin.jar DataJoin /export/scratch/user/lopez/Join /export/scratch/user/lopez/Join_Output

and the DataJoin.jar file has DataJoin$TaggedWritable packaged in it

I checked some forums and found out that the error may occur due to non static class. My program has no non static class!

Could someone please help me


Thank you Chris I edited as you said . I updated my code to take in two files. But I am getting same error message

I am getting the same message
INFO mapred.FileInputFormat: Total input paths to process : 2

the error is

    You need a default constructor for TaggedWritable (Hadoop uses reflection to create this object, and requires a default constructor (no args).

    You also have a problem in that your readFields method, you call data.readFields(in) on the writable interface – but has no knowledge of the actual runtime class of data.

    I suggest you either write out the data class name before outputting the data object itself, or look into the GenericWritable class (you’ll need to extend it to define the set of allowable writable classes that can be used).

    So you could amend as follows:

    public static class TaggedWritable extends TaggedMapOutput {
        private Writable data;
    
        public TaggedWritable() {
            this.tag = new Text();
        }
    
        public TaggedWritable(Writable data) {
            this.tag = new Text("");
            this.data = data;
        }
    
        public Writable getData() {
            return data;
        }
    
        public void setData(Writable data) {
            this.data = data;
        }
    
        public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException {
            this.tag.write(out);
            out.writeUTF(this.data.getClass().getName());
            this.data.write(out);
        }
    
        public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException {
            this.tag.readFields(in);
            String dataClz = in.readUTF();
            if (this.data == null
                    || !this.data.getClass().getName().equals(dataClz)) {
                this.data = (Writable) ReflectionUtils.newInstance(
                        Class.forName(dataClz), null);
            }
            this.data.readFields(in);
        }
    }
