In hadoop how do you print within the "configure()" method?
===

In the bottom example in this hadoop tutorial there is a "configure()" method.
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/mapred_tutorial.html#Source+Code-N10FD0

I wanted to put a print statement within it to know that it arrives there. However, nothing prints to console. Am I doing it wrong or is there something to hadoop that I do not understand.

It is on line 28 of the example at the bottom of the page.

Here is what I put, but again only the normal output of WordCount was put to console.

    public void configure(JobConf job) {
    System.out.println("HERE !@#$%^&*");
    caseSensitive = job.getBoolean("wordcount.case.sensitive", true);
    inputFile = job.get("map.input.file");
