Input key and value to combiner and reducer should be reused ------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2399 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2399 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.15.1 Reporter: Owen O'Malley Assignee: Owen O'Malley Fix For: 0.16.0 Currently, the input key and value are recreated on every iteration for input to the combiner and reducer. It would speed up the system substantially if we reused the keys and values. The down side of doing it, is that it may break applications that count on holding references to previous keys and values, but I think it is worth doing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
