Lets be clear here and avoid confusion for others. MultipleOutputs is present in 0.20.203's stable API and is perfectly supported. You are using the new, unstable API which did not have MultipleOutputs backported from trunk in it, until Apache Hadoop 1.0.1. > So, can you please suggest if there can be an alternative way to implement > this functionality so as to get it done in minimum time. Options are: 1. Upgrade to a higher version that does have your required library. 2. Follow http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/FAQ#Can_I_write_create.2BAC8-write-to_hdfs_files_directly_from_map.2BAC8-reduce_tasks.3F carefully to write your own "multiple outputs" version. I'd do (1) cause its supported by the framework instead of having to reinvent the wheel - and I'd only gain more goodness by updating :) -- Harsh J
