> In hadoop 16 and earlier, the combiner was guaranteed to run once and only 
> once for each map. In 17 this compatibility was slightly broken: the combiner 
> does not run if a single <K,V> occupies the entire sort buffer. In 18, this 
> is further changed to where the combiner can be called multiple times on both 
> map and reduce sides.
> This breaks Pig's current implementation of the combiner and it is not easy 
> to fix in a short period of time.
> We would like to ask that for a way for an application to ask for a backward 
> compatible behavior for some period of time until it can adjust to the new 
> behavior.
