Type mismatch in key from map: expected org.apache.hadoop.io.Text, recieved org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable

Question

I am trying to run a map/reducer in java. Below are my files

WordCount.java

package counter;


public class WordCount extends Configured implements Tool {

public int run(String[] arg0) throws Exception {
    Configuration conf = new Configuration();

    Job job = new Job(conf, "wordcount");

    job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);

    job.setMapperClass(WordCountMapper.class);
    job.setReducerClass(WordCountReducer.class);

    job.setInputFormatClass(TextInputFormat.class);
    job.setOutputFormatClass(TextOutputFormat.class);

    FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path("counterinput"));
    // Erase previous run output (if any)
    FileSystem.get(conf).delete(new Path("counteroutput"), true);
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path("counteroutput"));

    job.waitForCompletion(true);
    return 0;
}   

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    int res = ToolRunner.run(new Configuration(), new WordCount(), args);
    System.exit(res);

    }
}

WordCountMapper.java

public class WordCountMapper 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, InterruptedException {
        System.out.println("hi");
    String line = value.toString();
    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
        word.set(tokenizer.nextToken());
        output.collect(word, one);
        }
    }
}

WordCountReducer.java

public class WordCountReducer extends Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {
    public void reduce(Text key, Iterator<IntWritable> values,
        OutputCollector<Text,IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        System.out.println("hello");
        int sum = 0;
        while (values.hasNext()) {
            sum += values.next().get();
        }
        output.collect(key, new IntWritable(sum));
    }
}

I am getting following error

I think it is not able to find Mapper and reducer class. I have written the code in main class, It is getting default Mapper and reducer class.

Answer 1

Add these 2 lines in your code :

job.setMapOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setMapOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);

You are using TextOutputFormat which emits LongWritable key and Text value by default, but you are emitting Text as key and IntWritable as value. You need to tell this to the famework.

HTH

Answer 2

This may not be your issue but I had this silly issue once. Make sure you are not mixing the old and the new libraries i.e. mapred vs mapreduce. Annotate @Overide on your map and reduce methods. If you see errors you are not properly overriding the methods.

Answer 3

I got a similar exception stack trace due to improper Mapper Class set in my code (typo :) )

job.setMapperClass(Mapper.class)  // Set to org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper due to type

Notice that mistakenly I was using Mapper class from mapreduce package, I changed it to my custom mapper class:

job.setMapperClass(LogProcMapperClass.class) // LogProcMapperClass is my custom mapper.

The exception is resolved after I corrected the mapper class.

Answer 4

Removing this from Code solved the issue

super.map(key, value, context);
