Yoni Ben-Meshulam updated MRUNIT-165:
-------------------------------------
Description:
MapReduceDriver calls the Mapper#run method for each input, causing the
Mapper#cleanup method to be called multiple times.
I believe this is a bug, since the contract in MapReduce is that, for a single
Mapper instance, the Mapper#cleanup method is only called once after all inputs
to that mapper have been processed. I might be mistaken in my assumption here.
This would not be an issue, were it not for the fact that MapReduceDriver has
only a single instance of Mapper.
One solution might be to pass the Mapper _class_ into the MapReduceDriver and
create a new instance for each input. Another solution might be to call the
MapDriver with multiple inputs (which AFAIK is not possible).
See attached patch for an example of a stateful mapper and a test which fails
due to the bug.

To reproduce, create a MapReduce job with some stateful mapper:
{code}
public class StatefulMapper extends Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text,
IntWritable> {
public static final Text KEY = new Text("SomeKey");
private Int someState = 0;
/**
* Increment someState for each input.
*
* @param context the Hadoop job Map context
* @throws java.io.IOException
*/
@Override
public void map(
LongWritable key,
Text value,
Context context
) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
this.someState += 1;
}
/**
* Runs once after all maps have occurred. Dumps the accumulated state to
the output.
* @param context the Hadoop job Map context
*/
@Override
protected void cleanup(Context context) throws IOException,
InterruptedException {
context.write(this.KEY, new IntWritable(this.someState));
}
}
{code}
