> Maps can be rerun due to shuffle fetch failures. Half of the reducers can end
> up successfully pulling partitions from first run of the map while other half
> could pull from the rerun after shuffle fetch failures. If the data is not
> partitioned by the Partitioner exactly the same way every time then it could
> lead to incorrect results (loss of records and duplicated records). Even
> though issue has existed for 8 years now with order by and affects mapreduce
> as well found this with Tez where the frequency of rerun due to shuffle fetch
> failures is high (Order by partitioner gets its data from a 1-1 edge, so
> there are no retries and shuffle fetch failures trigger a rerun immediately).
