When assigning tasks to trackers, the job tracker should try to balance the number of tasks among the available trackers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-3651 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3651 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.17.0 Reporter: Runping Qi I encounter a number of situations like this: A job tracker has 200 task trackers, each with 2 mapper slots and reducer slots. When a job with 200 or fewer reducers was submitted to the job tracker, one normally each task tracker will run one reducer. Unfortunately, it seems that only about 1/3 of trackers have one reducer, and 1/3 trackers don't have reducer, and 1/3 have 2 reducers! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
