If you have tried Hadoop WordCount sample job available in multiple old tutorials, you may have hit compilation problem as below:
Older Code:
package org.myorg;
import java.io.Exception;
import java.util.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.util.*;
public class WordCount {
public static class MapClass extends MapReduceBase implements Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> {
private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
private Text word = new Text();
public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
String line = value.toString();
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
word.set(tokenizer.nextToken());
output.collect(word, one);
}
}
}
public static class Reduce extends MapReduceBase implements Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {
public void reduce(Text key, Iterator<IntWritable> values, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
int sum = 0;
while (values.hasNext()) {
sum += values.next().get();
}
output.collect(key, new IntWritable(sum));
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
JobConf conf = new JobConf(WordCount.class);
conf.setJobName(“wordcount”);
conf.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
conf.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
conf.setMapperClass(MapClass.class);
conf.setCombinerClass(Reduce.class);
conf.setReducerClass(Reduce.class);
conf.setInputFormat(TextInputFormat.class);
conf.setOutputFormat(TextOutputFormat.class);
conf.setInputPath(new Path(args[1]));
conf.setOutputPath(new Path(args[2]));
JobClient.runJob(conf);
}
}
After Compilation we hit the following error:
WordCount.java:2: error: cannot find symbol
import java.io.Exception;

Note: WordCount.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

This is because the old sample code is based on older Hadoop distribution. This problem happens when you use 0.20.x or newer Hadoop distribution. Like in my case, I was using 0.20.203.1 as below:
C:AzureJava>C:Appsjavaopenjdk7binjavac -classpath c:Appsdisthadoop-core-0.20.203.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -d . WordCount.java
To solve this problem you would need to change your code to as below:
package org.myorg;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.util.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configured;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;
public class AvkashWordCount {
public static class Map extends Mapper
<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> {
private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
private Text word = new Text();
public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
String line = value.toString();
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
word.set(tokenizer.nextToken());
context.write(word, one);
}
}
}
public static class Reduce extends Reducer
<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {
public void reduce(Text key, Iterator<IntWritable> values, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
int sum = 0;
while (values.hasNext()) {
sum += values.next().get();
}
context.write(key, new IntWritable(sum));
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Configuration conf = new Configuration();
Job job = new Job(conf);
job.setJarByClass(AvkashWordCount.class);
job.setJobName(“avkashwordcountjob”);
job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
job.setMapperClass(AvkashWordCount.Map.class);
job.setCombinerClass(AvkashWordCount.Reduce.class);
job.setReducerClass(AvkashWordCount.Reduce.class);
FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));
job.waitForCompletion(true);
}
}
Above code is tested with Hadoop 0.20.x and above distribution.
