          Issue Type: Bug

ReduceTask computes the "closest power of 2" using loops

{code}
private static int getClosestPowerOf2(int value) {
  final int hob = Integer.highestOneBit(value);
  return Integer.numberOfTrailingZeros(hob) +
    Math.min((hob >>> 1) & value, 1);
  int power = 0;
  int approx = 1;
  while (approx < value) {
    ++power;
    approx = (approx << 1);
  }
  if ((value - (approx >> 1)) < (approx - value)) {
    --power;
  }
  return power;
}
{code}

This could be improved.
