[ 常見問題 ] How to get the input file name in the mapper in a Hadoop program?

Source From Here
Question
How I can get the name of the input file within a mapper? I have multiple input files stored in the input directory, each mapper may read a different file, and I need to know which file the mapper has read.

How-To
First you need to get the InputSplit object, using the MapReduce v2 API it would be done as follows:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. ...  
2.     @Override  
3.     public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, Context context)  
4.             throws IOException, InterruptedException {  
5.           
6.         InputSplit inputSplit = context.getInputSplit();  
7.     }  
8. ...  

But in order to get the file path and the file name you will need to first typecast the result into FileSplit. So, in order to get the input file path you may do the following:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. Path filePath = ((FileSplit) context.getInputSplit()).getPath();  
2. String filePathString = filePath.toString();  

Similarly, to get the file name, you may just call upon getName(), like this:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. String fileName = ((FileSplit) context.getInputSplit()).getPath().getName();
