How to set up output field separator?

[Mark Kerzner <ma...@shmsoft.com>]

Hi, all,

I've tried this

configuration.set("map.output.key.field.separator", ",");

but it did not work. How do I set the separator to another field, from its
default "tab"?

Thank you,
Mark

Harsh,

I think it worked in Hadoop 0.20, but it does not work with the new
mapreduce API, and even this key,
mapreduce.output.textoutputformat.separator, does not help.

Maybe I should switch back to 0.20 for the time being.

That property is probably just for streaming, used with
KeyFieldBasedComparator/Partitioner.

You may instead set mapred.textoutputformat.separator for the
TextOutputFormat in regular jobs. Let us know if that works.
