我使用的是cdh4（4.5）的mrv1，并且面临一个问题 CompositeInputFormat . 我尝试加入多少输入并不重要。为了简单起见，下面是一个只有一个输入的示例：

Configuration conf = new Configuration();

    Job job = new Job(conf, "Blah");
    job.setJarByClass(Blah.class);

    job.setMapperClass(Blah.BlahMapper.class);
    job.setReducerClass(Blah.BlahReducer.class);

    job.setMapOutputKeyClass(LongWritable.class);
    job.setMapOutputValueClass(BlahElement.class);
    job.setOutputKeyClass(LongWritable.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(BlahElement.class);

    job.setInputFormatClass(CompositeInputFormat.class);
    String joinStatement = CompositeInputFormat.compose("inner", SequenceFileInputFormat.class, "/someinput");
    System.out.println(joinStatement);
    conf.set("mapred.join.expr", joinStatement);
    job.setOutputFormatClass(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class);

    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(newoutput));

    return job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1;

以下是输出+堆栈跟踪：

以前有人面对过吗？有什么办法解决吗？
