Use Apache Hadoop to count the n-grams in a collection of files.

Stephen W. Thomas <[email protected]>

This class uses Hadoop to count the number of occurrences of n-grams in a given set of text files.

An n-gram is a list of n words, which are adjacent to each other in a text file. For example, if the text file contained the text "one two three", there would be three 1-grams ("one", "two", "three"), two 2-grams ("one_two", "two_three"), and one 3-gram ("one_two_three").

This class has been tested against hadoop 1.0.3.

N-grams of sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are supported. You can specify on the command line which you want to include via the third parameter (see below for details).

countngrams input_dir output_dir 1,2,3,4,5?
