Dmitriy Lyubimov commented on MAHOUT-376:
-----------------------------------------

{quote}You don't get a choice. The frame will run the combiner as many times as 
it feels it wants to. It will run in the mapper or reducer or both or 
neither.{quote}

Ted, thank you for pointing it. As i mentioned couple of comments above, this 
is very well understood, was a concern from the beginning, never came up as a 
problem in tests, but I will do a small patch per my comment above that will 
make processing complexity even faster albeit code might become a little 
uglier. I am very well aware mapper can spill some records past combiner and 
send them to sort in the reducer per spec. I

In fact, i had version that does just that on another branch. i just need to 
yank it and bring in sync with this branch. 

Thank you.
