Different output while running mapreduce on local machine in IDEA and in hadoop on cluster


The problem is what it says in the description. I have some code.

This is the reducer.

public class RTopLoc extends Reducer<CompositeKey, IntWritable, Text, Text> {
    private static int number = 0;
    private static CompositeKey lastCK = new CompositeKey();
    private static Text lastLac = new Text();

    @Override
    public void reduce(CompositeKey key, Iterable<IntWritable> values, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        int sum = sumValues(values);
        String str = Integer.toString(sum);
        String str2 = Integer.toString(number);
        String str3 = key.getSecond().toString();
        context.write(key.getFirst(), new Text(str3 + " " + str2 + " " + str));
        if(number == 0){
            number = sum;
            lastCK = key;
            context.write(new Text("1"), new Text("1"));
        }
        else if(lastCK.getFirst().equals(key.getFirst()) && sum > number){
            lastCK = key;
            context.write(new Text("2"), new Text("2"));
        }
        else if(!lastCK.getFirst().equals(key.getFirst())){
//            context.write(lastCK.getFirst(), lastCK.getSecond());
            context.write(new Text("3"), new Text("3"));
            number = sum;
            lastCK = key;

        }
    }

it runs fine until the reducer. Then, when I run it in intelij idea (In windows), I get

After I package the code (I use maven) and run it on hadoop (Linux), I get

I use this to run the code.

Solution

  • It looks like the difference is caused by a problem comparing parts of your stored key (lastCK) and the current key.

    I would change this line:

    lastCK = key;

    Keys and values are reused in Hadoop so when this is running on a real cluster, your keys will just be the same since lastCK and key will both be the same object.

    You need to either properly copy key into lastCK, perhaps using a .set() method (that you write and is a common pattern in hadoop) or create a new one using a constructor that accepts an CompositeKey.
