Rui Li commented on HIVE-9251:
------------------------------

Hi [~xuefuz], I think {{hive.exec.reducers.bytes.per.reducer}} is not for 
reducer memory. It's for how much data user wants a reducer to handle. Here's 
the comment:
{noformat}
size per reducer.The default is 256Mb, i.e if the input size is 1G, it will use 
4 reducers.
{noformat}
And here's how hive estimates # of reducers with it (the {{bytesPerReducer}}):
{code}
    double bytes = Math.max(totalInputFileSize, bytesPerReducer);
    int reducers = (int) Math.ceil(bytes / bytesPerReducer);
    reducers = Math.max(1, reducers);
    reducers = Math.min(maxReducers, reducers);
{code}
In MR mode, to configure reducer memory, I think some related properties are 
{{mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb}}, {{mapreduce.map.java.opts}} etc.
Please let me know if I misunderstand something.

> This may hurt performance or even lead to task failures. For example, spark's 
> netty-based shuffle limits the max frame size to be 2G.
