------------------------------------------------
if (value < 0), why not return -getClosestPowerOf2(-value-1)?
> ReduceTask::closestPowerOf2 is inefficient

> ReduceTask computes the "closest power of 2" using loops
> {code}
> private static int getClosestPowerOf2(int value) {
> 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.
