Oozie worflow with avro - output is a corrupt avro file

Question

When I run the mapred job manually, it produces a valid avro file with . avro extension. But when I write it in oozie workflow, it produces a text file, which is a corrupt avro file. Here is my workflow:

<workflow-app name='sample-wf' xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.2">
<start to='start_here'/>
<action name='start_here'>
    <map-reduce>
        <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
        <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
        <prepare>
            <delete path="${nameNode}/user/hadoop/${workFlowRoot}/final-output-data"/>
        </prepare>
        <configuration>

<kill name='fail'>
    <message>MapReduce failed, error message[$sf:errorMessage(sf:lastErrorNode())}]</message>
</kill>
<end name='end'/>
</workflow-app>

And my mapper and reducer are defined like these :

public static class CFDetectionMapper extends
                Mapper<AvroKey<AdClickFraudSignalsEntity>, NullWritable, AvroKey<AdClickFraudSignalsEntity>, Text> {

}

public static class CFDetectionReducer extends
               Reducer<AvroKey<AdClickFraudSignalsEntity>, Text, AvroKey<AdClickFraudSignalsEntity>, AvroValue<CharSequence>>
       
             

Can you please tell me what is wrong here?

Answer 1

You are using some wrong property names:

<property>
  <name>mapreduce.mapoutput.key.class</name>
  <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.AvroKey</value>
</property>
[...]
<property>
  <name>mapreduce.mapoutput.value.class</name>
  <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.Text</value>
</property>

should be:

<property> 
  <name>mapreduce.map.output.key.class</name>
  <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.AvroKey</value>
</property>
[...]
<property>
  <name>mapreduce.map.output.value.class</name>
  <value>org.apache.hadoop.io.Text</value>
</property>

(note the added dot). This used to be different for the earlier mapred names, but now its this way - see http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.5.2/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/DeprecatedProperties.html.
