How to use S3DistCp in java code

Question

I want to copy output of job from EMR cluster to Amazon S3 pro-grammatically.

How to use S3DistCp in java code to do the same.

Answer 1

hadoop ToolRunner can run this.. since S3DistCP extends Tool

Below is the usage example:

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner;
import com.amazon.external.elasticmapreduce.s3distcp.S3DistCp

public class CustomS3DistCP{
  private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(CustomS3DistCP.class);

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
     log.info("Running with args: " + args);

     System.exit(ToolRunner.run(new S3DistCp(), args));
   }

you have to have s3distcp jar in your classpath You can call this program from a shell script.

Hope that helps!
