Hello,

I wasn't able to find this anywhere, so I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

I am wondering whether there is a practical limit of the amount of bytes that 
an emitted Map/Reduce value can be. Other than the obvious drawbacks of 
emitting huge values such as performance issues, I would like to know whether 
there are any hard constraints; I can imagine that a value can never be larger 
than the dfs.block.size .

Does anyone have any idea, or can provide me with some pointers where to look ?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Leon Mergen
