> Key: HADOOP-2568
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2568

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mapred

> The idea is to reduce disk seeks while fetching the map outputs. If we
> opportunistically pin reduces with consecutive IDs (like 5, 6, 7 ..
> max-reduce-tasks on that node) on a node, and have a single shuffle task, we
> should benefit, if for every fetch, that shuffle task fetches all the outputs
> for the reduces it is shuffling for. In the case where we have 2 reduces per
> node, we will decrease the #seeks in the map output files on the map nodes by
> 50%. Memory usage by that shuffle task would be proportional to the number of
> reduces it is shuffling for (to account for the number of ramfs instances,
> one per reduce). But overall it should help.
> Thoughts?
