Hadoop type mismatch in key from map expected value Text received value LongWritable - hadoop

Question

Anyone have any idea why I would be getting this error? I have looked at alot of other similar posts but most of them did not apply to me, I also tried the few solutions that were posted that did apply to me but they did not work, I'm sure I'm just missing something stupid, thanks for the help

Answer 1

You appear to be missing a number of configuration properties:
Mapper and Reducer classes? - if not defined, you'll be defaulted to the 'Identity' Mapper / Reducer
Your specific error message is because the identity mapper just outputs the same key / value types it was passed in, in this case probably a key of type LongWritable and value of type Text (as you haven't defined an Input format, the default is probably TextInputFormat). In your configuration you have defined the output key type as Text, but the mapper is outputting LongWritable, hence the error message.

Answer 2

You should set the following property in job.xml
<property>
<name>mapred.input.format.class</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat</value>
<description>The full class name of the InputFormat class to be used for obtaining the input to the mapper.</description>
</property>
