Adding serial number to each of the records in a text file using Hadoop MapReduce

Question

I'm looking for a solution here to my simple silly problem here. Say, I have a huge 10GB text file with records delimited by '\\n' and I provide the file as a input to the Hadoop framework. The output should be a file such that it maintains the same order of the records as the input file but with a serial number in front of every record.

For eg,

If I have a input text file say,

this is line one
this is line two
this is line three
this is line four
-----------------
-----------------

output file should be,

1 this is line one
2 this is line two
3 this is line three
4 this is line four
------------------
-----------------

Edit: Say instead of a 10GB file I have a 10 TB file, so what could be done now? Instead of handling the file using Hadoop way what could be the other best approach to do it rather faster?

Moreover, I also want to use multiple reducer not a single reducer.

Answer 1

I agree with pap, no need for Hadoop here. Check the command nl , it adds the line number before each line of the file. Just store the output in a new file.

$ cat testFile
line1
line2
line3

$ nl testFile
   1   line1
   2   line2
   3   line3

Answer 2

与仅打开文件，逐行读取并将每行存储在新文件（序列/序列号前置）相比，不确定您是否会从Hadoop中获益于此类微不足道的操作。
