Question

I’m trying Hadoop’s Basic MapReduce Program whose tutorial is on http://java.dzone.com/articles/hadoop-basics-creating

The Full code of the class is(the code is present on net on above url)

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.KeyValueTextInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.util.GenericOptionsParser;

public class Dictionary {
public static class WordMapper extends Mapper<Text, Text, Text, Text> {
    private Text word = new Text();

    public void map(Text key, Text value, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        StringTokenizer itr = new StringTokenizer(value.toString(), ",");
        while (itr.hasMoreTokens()) {
            word.set(itr.nextToken());
            context.write(key, word);
        }
    }
}

public static class AllTranslationsReducer extends Reducer<Text, Text, Text, Text> {
    private Text result = new Text();

    public void reduce(Text key, Iterable<Text> values, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        String translations = "";
        for (Text val : values) {
            translations += "|" + val.toString();
        }
        result.set(translations);
        context.write(key, result);
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("welcome to Java 1");
    Configuration conf = new Configuration();
    System.out.println("welcome to Java 2");
    Job job = new Job(conf, "dictionary");
    job.setJarByClass(Dictionary.class);
    job.setMapperClass(WordMapper.class);
    job.setReducerClass(AllTranslationsReducer.class);
    job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(Text.class);
    job.setInputFormatClass(KeyValueTextInputFormat.class);
    FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path("/tmp/hadoop-cscarioni/dfs/name/file"));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path("output"));
    System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
}
}

But after running in eclipse; I’m getting the error,

welcome to Java 1

Answer 1

NoClassDefFoundError comes when a class is not visible at run time but was at compile time. Which may be related to JAR files, because all the required class files were not included.

So try adding in your class path commons-logging-1.1.1 jar which you can get from http://commons.apache.org/logging/download_logging.cgi
