> *Problem:*
> Partitioner class HRegionPartitioner in a HBase MapReduce job has a method
> getPartition(). In getPartition(), there is a scenario where we have check
> for less number of reducers than region. This scenario seems incorrect
> because for a rowKey present in last region(let us say nth region) ,
> getPartition() should return value (n-1). But it is not returning n-1 for the
> last region as it is falling in the case where number of reducers < number of
> regions and returning some random value.
> So if a client uses this class as a partitioner class in HBase MapReduce
> jobs, this method incorrectly partitions the regions because rowKeys present
> in the last regions does not fall to the last region.

> Consider the following scenario:
> if there are 5 regions for the table, partitions = 5 and number of reducers
> is also 5.
> So in this case above check for reducers < regions should not return true.
> But for the last region when i=4(last region, 5th region) , getPartition
> should return 4 but it returns 2 because it falls in the case of when we have
> less reduces than region and returns true for the above condition even though
> we have reducers = regions. So the condition is incorrect.
>
> *Solution:*
> Instead of
> {code} if (i >= numPartitions-1) {code}
> It should be
> {code} if (i >= numPartitions){ {code}
