[Hadoop-common-dev] a hadoop input format question

I am running basic hadoop examples on amazon emr and I am stuck at a very
simple place. I am apparently not passing the right "classname" for
inputFormat
for input format

I am running a simple sort example using mapreduce.

Here is the command variations I tried, all to vain:


$usr/local/hadoop/bin/hadoop jar /path to hadoop
examples/hadoop-0.18.0-examples.jar sort -inFormat TextInputFormat
-outFormat TextOutputFormat /path to datainput/datain/ /path to data
output/dataout

The sort function does not declare "TextInputFormat" in its import list.
Could that be a problem
?
Could it be a version problem?


Any help is aprpeciated!
