WordCount sort by frequency?

[Mark Vigeant <ma...@riskmetrics.com>]

Hello!

I was wondering if there was any convenient way to sort the Reducer output?

Specifically, in WordCount is there a way to sort the results by frequency?

Thank you very much, I'm sorry if this is seen as a dumb question.

The simple way is to run another M/R pass over the resulting word count
dataset.
The map can swap the word and the count so that count is the key and word is
the value.
The reduce may be the identity reducer.
