Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-3326:
------------------------------------

Owen,
This is a one time wait in the lifetime of the reducer. 400ms seems 
insignificant as compared to the total runtime of the reducer. What is the 
concern here?

> ReduceTask should not sleep for 200 ms while waiting for merge to finish

> Currently the merge code in Reduce task does:
> {code}
>             // Wait for the on-disk merge to complete
>             while (localFSMergeInProgress) {
>               Thread.sleep(200);
>             }
>             
>             //wait for an ongoing merge (if it is in flight) to complete
>             while (mergeInProgress) {
>               Thread.sleep(200);
>             }
> {code}
