Exception in thread “main” java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: WordCount

Question

I am currently wanting to create a single instance node of Hadoop. So I am following this tutorial . I ran the following command in terminal:

hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/hadoop jar WordCount.jar geekyomega.WordCount /user/hduser/gutenberg /user/hduser/gutenberg-output

Things were going great until I ran into this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: WordCount
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366)

I am attempting to run this example using the following code, where I got from here . Here is my version of the code:

package geekyomega;

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.mapreduce.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.TextInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.TextOutputFormat;

public class WordCount {

 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, Iterable<IntWritable> values, Context context) 
      throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        int sum = 0;
        for (IntWritable val : values) {
            sum += val.get();
        }
        context.write(key, new IntWritable(sum));
    }
 }

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Configuration conf = new Configuration();

    Job job = new Job(conf, "WordCount");

    job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);

    job.setMapperClass(Map.class);
    job.setReducerClass(Reduce.class);

    job.setInputFormatClass(TextInputFormat.class);
    job.setOutputFormatClass(TextOutputFormat.class);

    FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));

    job.waitForCompletion(true);
 }

}

I thought my issue was job instantiation. So I did as follows, I changed:

Job job = new Job(conf, "wordcount");

To the following, capitalized version:

Job job = new Job(conf, "WordCount");

But that hasn't helped. Anyone know what could help me here?

Thanks, Geeky

PS - I don't want to run the tutorial version of wordcount. What I did was created the project in eclipse, added the hadoop jar to it, and exported it as a jar file.

Answer 1

your classname is geekyomega.WordCount

you are not appending the package name . in the command line , just after jar file name, give the fully qualified name of your job class.

Answer 2

Along with adding the package add the following line as well in the job config part of your program :

job.setJarByClass(WordCount.class);
