Hadoop MapReduce provide nested directories as job input

Question

I\'m working on a job that processes a nested directory structure, containing files on multiple levels:

one/
├── three/
│   └── four/
│       ├── baz.txt
│               


        

Answer 1

Don't know if still relevant but at least in hadoop 2.4.0 you can set property mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.input.dir.recursive to true and it will solve your problem.
