[jira] Updated: (MAPREDUCE-1126) shuffle should use serialization to get comparator

["Aaron Kimball (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1126?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Aaron Kimball updated MAPREDUCE-1126:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: MAPREDUCE-1126.patch

Attaching a patch that makes this work. This depends on HADOOP-6438 which adds the configuration getters/setters discussed earlier.

This patch adds the following new files:

{code}
svn add src/test/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/TestAvroSerialization.java
svn add src/test/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/avro/key.avsc
svn add src/test/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/avro/val.avsc
{code}

Tested by running Mapreduce unit tests; added new unit tests that use the Avro serialization systems (generic, specific, and reflect) for intermediate data types. Booted a pseudo-distributed cluster and ran some example jobs, which work.

Will mark as patch-available after the dependencies are all met

> Currently the key comparator is defined as a Java class.  Instead we should use the Serialization API to create key comparators.  This would permit, e.g., Avro-based comparators to be used, permitting efficient sorting of complex data types without having to write a RawComparator in Java.
