How do I pass the Hadoop Streaming -file flag to Amazon ElasticMapreduce?


The -file flag allows you to pack your executable files as a part of job submission and thus allow you to run a MapReduce without first manually copying the executable to S3. Is there a way to use the -file flag with Amazon's elastic-mapreduce command? If not, what is the easiest way to upload the binary you want to run?


Solution

  • The answer is no. I ended up uploading the executable separately from invoking elastic-mapreduce.
