-------------------------------------
This was the only job running / in the queue.
> Hadoop reduce scheduler sometimes leaves machines idle

> Key: HADOOP-5160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5160
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mapred
> Reporter: Nathan Marz
>
> I have a MapReduce application with number of reducers equal to the number of
> machines in the cluster (and with speculative execution turned off). However,
> Hadoop schedules multiple reduces to run on single machines and leaves other
> machines idle. This causes contention and seriously slows down the job.
> Hadoop should employ the simple heuristic of utilizing as many machines as
> possible when scheduling reduces.
