Hi All,

I hope this is the right forum for this type of question so my apologies if
not.

I'm looking to write a map reduce program which is giving me the following
compilation error:
The method setMapperClass(Class<? extends Mapper>) in the type Job is not
applicable for the arguments (Class<csatAnalysis.MapClass>)

The components involved are:

1. Setting the Mapper
        //Set the Mapper for the job. Calls MapClass.class
        job.setMapperClass(MapClass.class);

2. Setting the inputFormat to TextInputFormat
        //An InputFormat for plain text files. Files are broken into lines.
        //Either linefeed or carriage-return are used to signal end of
line.
        //Keys are the position in the file, and values are the line of
text..
        job.setInputFormatClass(TextInputFormat.class);

3. Taking the data into the mapper and processing it
    public static class MapClass extends Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text,
VectorWritable> {
        public void map (LongWritable key, Text value,Context context)
throws IOException, InterruptedException {

Would anyone have any clues as to what would be wrong with the arguements
being passed to the Mapper?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.
