How to initialize instance variables in setup()?

Question

This should be a simple question, but I'm struggling with it. Everything in my code is working except for initializing the parameter values for "train_rows" and "cols" read in from the Configuration file.

I set up logging to display the values of "train_rows" and "cols" within the setup() method, and the values were correct. However, when I tried the same thing within the map() method, both values showed 0. What am I doing wrong?

import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.util.Scanner; import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper;

public class KNNMapper extends Mapper<LongWritable, Text, IntWritable, IntWritable> {
  private static final Logger sLogger = Logger.getLogger(KNNMapper.class);
  private int[][] train_vals;
  private int[] train_label_vals;
  private int train_rows;
  private int test_rows;
  private int cols;

  @Override
  public void setup(Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
      Configuration conf = context.getConfiguration();

      train_rows = conf.getInt("rows", -1);
      cols = conf.getInt("columns", -1);

      //just changed this
      //int[][] train_vals = new int[train_rows][cols];
      //int[] train_label_vals = new int[train_rows];

      train_vals = new int[train_rows][cols];
      train_label_vals = new int[train_rows];

      // read train csv, parse, and store into 2d int array
      Scanner myScan;
        try {
            File trainfile = new File("train_sample.csv");
            if (!trainfile.exists()) {

            }
            myScan = new Scanner(trainfile);

            //Set the delimiter used in file
            myScan.useDelimiter("[,\r\n]+");

                }
            }

            myScan.close();

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.out.print("Error: Train file execution did not work.");
        }

    // read train_labels csv, parse, and store into 2d int array
        try {

            if (!trainlabels.exists()) {

            myScan.close();

i doubt this , assuming you are scanning the file in hdfs.

you used:

import java.io.File; File trainfile = new File("train_sample.csv");

in hadoop this is how we check for a file in hdfs :

try { FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(context.getConfiguration());

if (fs.exists(new Path("/user/username/path/of/file/inhdfs"))) {
        System.out.println("File exists");
}

 } catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

}
