Do you mean that when multiple map jobs run on the same node, that there is a combiner that will run across all of that code. There is nothing for that right now. It seems like it could be somewhat difficult to get right given the current architecture.

I have one question: Is there a node-wide combiner or something similar in Hadoop? I think it can reduce the number of intermediate results in further. Any hint? Thanks a lot! Superymk
