Class AvroJob

java.lang.Object

org.apache.avro.mapreduce.AvroJob

public final class AvroJob
extends Object

Utility methods for configuring jobs that work with Avro.

When using Avro data as MapReduce keys and values, data must be wrapped in a suitable AvroWrapper implementation. MapReduce keys must be wrapped in an AvroKey object, and MapReduce values must be wrapped in an AvroValue object.

Suppose you would like to write a line count mapper that reads from a text file. If instead of using a Text and IntWritable output value, you would like to use Avro data with a schema of "string" and "int", respectively, you may parameterize your mapper with AvroKey<CharSequence> and AvroValue<Integer> types. Then, use the setMapOutputKeySchema() and setMapOutputValueSchema() methods to set writer schemas for the records you will generate.
