[jira] [Resolved] (HADOOP-9697) Mapper example

["Andras Bokor (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9697?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andras Bokor resolved HADOOP-9697.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

It this example the key is not used. It's a common think that the key is Object when it is not used.

I think we should force the users to use WritableComparable with generics but that is out of this ticket's scope.

> The org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce 
> Class Mapper<KEYIN,VALUEIN,KEYOUT,VALUEOUT>
> has an example with 
> public void map(Object key, Text value, Context context)
> But, "Any type which is to be used as a key in the Hadoop Map-Reduce framework should implement this interface."
> org.apache.hadoop.io 
> Interface WritableComparable<T>
> The example has Object for key type. Object doesn't implement WritableComparable.
