 ====== MapReduce Tutorial : Running jobs ======
-===== Run Perl jobs =====
+The input of a Hadoop job is either a file, or a directory. In latter case all files in the directory are processed.
+The output of a Hadoop job must be a directory, which does not exist.
+===== Running jobs =====
 | ^ Command ^
-^ Run locally | ''perl script.pl input output''|
+^ Run Perl script ''script.pl'' | ''perl script.pl'' //options// |
+^ Run Java job ''job.jar'' | ''/net/projects/hadoop/bin/hadoop job.jar'' //options// |
+The options are the same for Perl and java:
+| ^ Options ^
+^ Run locally | ''input output'' |
+^ Run using specified jobtracker | ''-jt jobtracker:port input output'' |
+^ Run job in dedicated cluster | ''-c number_of_machines input output'' |
+^ Run job in dedicated cluster and after it finishes, \\ wait for //W// seconds before stopping the cluster | ''-c number_of_machines -w W_seconds input output'' |
+^ Run using //R// reducers \\ (//R//>1 not working when running locally)| ''-r R input output'' |
+^ Run using //M// mappers | ''`/net/projects/hadoop/bin/compute-splitsize input M` input output'' |
+From February 2012, using the parameter ''-w'' makes Hadoop to wait W seconds after the **last** task is finished. This means that you can start a cluster for one task (with ''-c N_machines -w W_seconds'') and reuse it (with ''-jt jobtracker:port'') for other tasks without worries that the other tasks will be killed before finishing.
+===== Running multiple jobs =====
+There are several ways of running multiple jobs:
+  * Java only: Create multiple ''Job'' instances and call ''submit'' or ''waitForCompletion'' multiple times
+  * Create a cluster using ''/net/projects/hadoop/bin/hadoop-cluster'', parse the jobtracker:port using ''head -1'' and run the jobs using ''-jt jobtracker:port''
+  * Create a shell script running multiple jobs using ''-jt HADOOP_JOBTRACKER''. Then run it using ''//net/projects/hadoop/bin/hadoop-cluster -c machines script.sh''.
