Question

I am very new to hadoop, Can anyone know what should i keep in(/user/gates/pages) pages folder.should i keep on text file which contain data.if only txt file what will be the format of that
What data should I keep in [FileInputFormat.addInputPath(lp, new Path("/user/gates/pages"));] pages file.username or ages or websites name could u please give the details of input file

Answer 1

FileInputFormat.addInputPath(lp, new Path("/user/gates/pages"));
...
FileInputFormat.addInputPath(lfu, new Path("/user/gates/users"));
These are the two hard coded files it's expecting to find in HDFS, and for output:
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(top100, new Path("/user/gates/top100sitesforusers18to25"));
