[jira] [Created] (MAPREDUCE-6155) MapFiles are not always correctly
detected by SequenceFileInputFormat
Jens Rabe created MAPREDUCE-6155:
------------------------------------
Summary: MapFiles are not always correctly detected by SequenceFileInputFormat
Key: MAPREDUCE-6155
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6155
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.5.1
Reporter: Jens Rabe
MapFiles are not correctly detected by SequenceFileInputFormat.
This is because the listStatus method only detects a MapFile correctly if the path it checks is a directory - it then replaces it by the path of the data file.
This is likely to fail if the data file does not exist, i.e., if the input path is a directory, but does not belong to a MapFile, or if recursion is turned on and the input format comes across a file (not a directory) which is indeed part of a MapFile.
The listStatus method should be changed to detect these cases correctly:
* if the current candidate is a file and its name is "index" or "data", check if its corresponding other file exists, and if the key types of both files match and if the value type of the index file is LongWritable
* If the current candidate is a directory, it is only a MapFile if (and only if) an index and a data file exist, they are both SequenceFiles and their key types match (and the index value type is LongWritable)
