How to get the job name inside MapTask?

Hi,

I am trying to get the actual job name (e.g. WordCount, Sort, etc) inside
MapTask class. How can I do that?

Thanks,

- Qu

If new API, use the available Map/Reduce context object:

context.getJobName()

If old API:

Grab the configuration object and look for value of "mapred.job.name".
