Hi, 

I am confused on a particular point about reducer. can anyone guide me about
the same ?

When mapper starts generating key value pairs, will it all be available in
reducer i.e. after all mappers have exited?  I mean for a key K will all
values be grouped and available in reducer. Or Will the reducer run on a
single key-value pair as it becomes available ? 
Second option seems high unrealistic. 

Thanks,
Parth
