Hi,

in my cluster mapred.tasktracker.reduce.tasks.maximum = 4
however during monitoring the job in job tracker I see only 1 reducer working

first it is
reduce > copy - can someone please explain what does this mean?

after it is
reduce > reduce

when I set the number of reduce tasks for a job programatically to 10
job.setNumReduceTasks(10);
the number of "reduce > reduce" reducers increases to 10 and the
performance of application increases as well (the number of reducers
never exceeds).

Can someone explain such behavior?

Thanks in Advance,
Vitaliy S
