Hi,
I have a couple of questions:
1. What is the best way to create a composed MapReduce job in the 20.2
API? Can you use JobControl, which is still located in the mapred namespace,
or is it better to avoid mixing API’s?
IMO, it is never a good idea to mix old/new APIs. In 0.20.x, you don't
have a mapreduce.lib.jobcontrol to do this; you would need 0.21.
You may want to check Yahoo!'s Oozie or LinkedIn's Azkaban for
building workflow constructs out of a set of MapReduce jobs.
P.s. The 'deprecated' API in 0.20.2 has been un-deprecated in 0.20.3;
you can consider using it as it is still supported as a stable API in
0.21 (and perhaps 0.22 too).
