> Proposal to extend the parallel in-memory-merge/copying, that is being done 
> as part of HADOOP-830, to the on-disk files.
> Today, the Reduces dump the map output files to disk and the final merge 
> happens only after all the map outputs have been collected. It might make 
> sense to parallelize this part. That is, whenever a Reduce has collected 
> io.sort.factor number of segments on disk, it initiates a merge of those and 
> creates one big segment. If the rate of copying is faster than the merge, we 
> can probably have multiple threads doing parallel merges of independent sets 
> of io.sort.factor number of segments. If the rate of copying is not as fast 
> as merge, we stand to gain a lot - at the end of copying of all the map 
> outputs, we will be left with a small number of segments for the final merge 
> (which hopefully will feed the reduce directly (via the RawKeyValueIterator) 
> without having to hit the disk for writing additional output segments).
> If the disk bandwidth is higher than the network bandwidth, we have a good 
> story, I guess, to do such a thing.
