Ravi Gummadi commented on HADOOP-4620:
--------------------------------------
The ideal behaviour could be to have the correct output in this case also(input
is of 0 size for mapper/reducer and the task generates output).
Is it good enough that the mapper/reducer doesn't hang and finish execution in
the case of 0 sized input(even though the output of the mapper/reducer is not
available in intermediateFile/HDFS at the end of the task) ?
> Streaming mapper never completes if the mapper does not write to stdout
