Subject: How to find partition number in reducer

Hi,

I want to find out the partition number (which is being handled by the
reducer). I can use this-
HashPartitioner.getPartition( ...) but it takes "Key" as argument.

Is there a way I can do something similar in configure( ) method (where I
have not got the Key yet)

Thanks,
Taran
