             Summary: Support for fair custom data routing
                 Key: TEZ-3209
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-3209
             Project: Apache Tez
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Ming Ma


This is based on offline discussion with [~gopalv], [~hitesh], [~jrottinghuis] 
and [~lohit] w.r.t. the support for efficient processing of highly skewed 
unordered partitioned mapper output. Our use case is to demux highly skewed 
unordered category data partitioned by category name. Gopal and Hitesh 
mentioned dynamically shuffled join scenario.

One option we discussed is to leverage auto-parallelism feature with upfront 
over-partitioning. That means possible overhead to support large number 
partitions and unnecessary data movement as each reducer needs to get data from 
all mappers. 

Another alternative is to use custom {{DataMovementType}} which doesn't require 
each reducer to fetch data from all mappers. In that way, a large partition 
will be processed by several reducers, each of which will fetch data from a 
portion of mappers.

For example, say there are 100 mappers each of which has 10 partitions {P1, 
..., P10}. Each mapper generates 100MB for its P10 and 1MB for each of {P1, ... 
P9}. The default SCATTER_GATHER routing means the reducer for P10 has to 
process 10GB of input and becomes the bottleneck of the job. With the fair 
custom data routing, The P10 belonging to the first 10 mappers will be 
processed by one reducer. The P10 belonging to the second 10 mappers will be 
processed by another reducer, etc.

For further optimization, we can allocate the reducer on the same nodes as the 
mappers that it fetches data from.

To support this, we need TEZ-3206 as well as new class for 
{{VertexManagerPlugin}} and new class for {{EdgeManagerPluginOnDemand}}.
