title: MapReduce Example

This example uses mapreduce and accumulo to compute word counts for a set of documents. This is accomplished using a map-only mapreduce job and a accumulo table with aggregators.

To run this example you will need a directory in HDFS containing text files. The accumulo readme will be used to show how to run this example.

$ hadoop fs -copyFromLocal $ACCUMULO_HOME/README /user/username/wc/Accumulo.README
$ hadoop fs -ls /user/username/wc
Found 1 items
-rw-r--r--   2 username supergroup       9359 2009-07-15 17:54 /user/username/wc/Accumulo.README

The first part of running this example is to create a table with aggregation for the column family count.

$ ./bin/accumulo shell -u username -p password
Shell - Apache Accumulo Interactive Shell
- version: 1.3.x-incubating
- instance name: instance
- instance id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
- 
- type 'help' for a list of available commands
- 
username@instance> createtable wordCount -a count=org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.aggregation.StringSummation 
username@instance wordCount> quit

After creating the table, run the word count map reduce job.

[user1@instance accumulo]$ bin/tool.sh lib/accumulo-examples-*[^c].jar org.apache.accumulo.examples.mapreduce.WordCount instance zookeepers /user/user1/wc wordCount -u username -p password

After the map reduce job completes, query the accumulo table to see word counts.

$ ./bin/accumulo shell -u username -p password
username@instance> table wordCount
