All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configurable, org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool

public class RandomTextWriter
extends org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configured
implements org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool

This program uses map/reduce to just run a distributed job where there is no interaction between the tasks and each task writes a large unsorted random sequence of words. In order for this program to generate data for terasort with a 5-10 words per key and 20-100 words per value, have the following config: <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?> <configuration> <property> <name>test.randomtextwrite.min_words_key</name> <value>5</value> </property> <property> <name>test.randomtextwrite.max_words_key</name> <value>10</value> </property> <property> <name>test.randomtextwrite.min_words_value</name> <value>20</value> </property> <property> <name>test.randomtextwrite.max_words_value</name> <value>100</value> </property> <property> <name>test.randomtextwrite.total_bytes</name> <value>1099511627776</value> </property> </configuration> Equivalently, RandomTextWriter also supports all the above options and ones supported by Tool via the command-line. To run: bin/hadoop jar hadoop-${version}-examples.jar randomtextwriter [-outFormat output format class] output
