python find max value by mrjob

Question

i would like to find the max value in list by mrjob. when i run this, it always show the error:

No configs found; falling back on auto-configuration; No configs specified for inline runner

i'd like to know what's the meaning

class MRWordCounter(MRJob):

def mapper(self, key, line):
            num = csv_readline(line)
            yield num, 1
def reducer(self, word, compare):
            num_list = []
            for value in compare:
                    if value == max(compare):
                            value=num_list
                            yield word, num_list

Answer 1

You can use this method instead:-

#The most occurred word
#Import Dependencies
from mrjob.job import MRJob
from mrjob.step import MRStep
import re

WORD_RE = re.compile(r"[\w']+")


class MRMostUsedWord(MRJob):

    def mapper_get_words(self, _, line):
        # yield each word in the line
        for word in WORD_RE.findall(line):
            yield (word.lower(), 1)

    def combiner_count_words(self, word, counts):
        # sum the words we've seen so far
        yield (word, sum(counts))

    def reducer_count_words(self, word, counts):
        # send all (num_occurrences, word) pairs to the same reducer.
        # num_occurrences is so we can easily use Python's max() function.
        yield None, (sum(counts), word)

    # discard the key; it is just None
    def reducer_find_max_word(self, _, word_count_pairs):
        # each item of word_count_pairs is (count, word),
        # so yielding one results in key=counts, value=word
        yield max(word_count_pairs)

    def steps(self):
        return [
            MRStep(mapper=self.mapper_get_words,
                   combiner=self.combiner_count_words,
                   reducer=self.reducer_count_words),
            MRStep(reducer=self.reducer_find_max_word)
        ]


if __name__ == '__main__':
    MRMostUsedWord.run()

What it simply does is:-

• map the words.
• combine the count for each word.
• flip the key,value pair.

• reduce to find the max occurred word.
  To run the code,
  
  save the text file and the python script in the same folder, and then:

  python3 xyz.py xyz.txt
