The problem with this is that it implies that there is a maximum > limit of 64 values you can store in a TupleWritable. > An example of a use-case where I think this would be a problem is if you had > two MR jobs with over 64 reduces tasks and you wanted to join the outputs > with CompositeInputFormat - this will probably cause unexpected results in > the current scheme. > At the very least, the 64-value limit should be documented in TupleWritable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
