Hi Everyone,
I am trying to use the Hadoop's Map-side join using CompositeInputFormat but I get an IOException: "Unmatched ')'". I guess there may be a problem in the format of my input file. I have formatted the input files manually in such a way that keys are in sorted order in both the input files. Is this correct or do I have to pass the input files through Map/Reduce job to partition them?? I understand the conditions for the map-side join but I am not sure if the manual formatting fulfills those conditions?
I am using IdentityMapper and IdentityReducer as the mapper and reducer classes.
Cheers
