Mukund Madhugiri commented on HADOOP-1986:
------------------------------------------

Tom,
I ran the Sort benchmarks on 20, 100 and 500 nodes and see that random writer 
takes two times as much on 100 nodes when compared to trunk. I will do a re-run 
when the cluster frees up tomorrow, to see if it is repeatable

Here is the data from the runs:
* Sort on 20 nodes:
||Job||trunk (hrs)||trunk + patch (hrs)||
|Random Writer|0.11|0.11|
|Sort|0.31|0.33|
|Sort Validation|0.15|0.15|

* Sort on 100 nodes:
||Job||trunk (hrs)||trunk + patch (hrs)||
|Random Writer|0.13|0.29|
|Sort|0.55|0.44|
|Sort Validation|0.21|0.21|

* Sort on 500 nodes:
||Job||trunk (hrs)||trunk + patch (hrs)||
|Random Writer|0.26|0.27|
|Sort|1.1|1.2|
|Sort Validation|0.21|0.23|


I see a checksum error in the JobTracker logs on the 500 node run, but see it 
on the trunk run as well. So, it is not due to your patch.

> Currently Map Reduce programs have to use WritableComparable-Writable 
> key-value pairs. While it's possible to write Writable wrappers for other 
> serialization frameworks (such as Thrift), this is not very convenient: it 
> would be nicer to be able to use arbitrary types directly, without explicit 
> wrapping and unwrapping.
