Question

public static class Map extends MapReduceBase implements Mapper

MapReduceBase, Mapper and JobConf are deprecated in Hadoop 0.20.203.

What should we use now?

Edit 1 – for the Mapper and the MapReduceBase, I found that we just need to extends the Mapper

public static class Map extends Mapper
            <LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> {
  private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
  private Text word = new Text();

  public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, 
         OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, 
         Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
    String line = value.toString();
    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
      word.set(tokenizer.nextToken());
      output.collect(word, one);
    }
  }
}

Edit 2 – For JobConf we should use configuration like this:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Configuration conf = new Configuration();
        Job job = new Job(conf);
        job.setMapperClass(WordCount.Map.class);
    }

Edit 3 – I found a good tutorial according to the new API : http://sonerbalkir.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-hadoop-api-020x.html

Answer 1

Javadoc contains info what to use instaed of this depraceated classes:

e.g. http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html

 Deprecated. Use Configuration instead

Edit: When you use maven and open class declaration (F3) maven can automatically download source code and you’ll see content of javadoc comments with explanations.
