A Hadoop Word Count example using built-in map and reduce classes. Tested with Java 1.6 and Hadoop 1.0.4.

public class WordCount {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
        FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));

        System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
    }
