Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-838:
-------------------------------------
No, it would not solve the problem.
After shipping *all* data to a single IdentityReducer and sorting it (which is
a very expensive step), the data would be redistributed and sorted again for
the ActualReducer because the system would not be so "smart" to put both
ReduceTasks on the same node as the the IdentityReduce.
Is there a system-level feature in Hadoop to produce fully sorted results?
I think a MR job should have the same problems as Flink does. The user would
need to specify a custom partitioner to perform a range partitioning.

> Key: FLINK-838
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-838
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: GitHub Import
> Labels: github-import
> Fix For: pre-apache
>
>
> This is a meta issue for tracking @atsikiridis progress with implementing a
> full Hadoop Compatibliltiy Layer for Stratosphere.
> Some documentation can be found in the Wiki:
> https://github.com/stratosphere/stratosphere/wiki/%5BGSoC-14%5D-A-Hadoop-abstraction-layer-for-Stratosphere-(Project-Map-and-Notes)
> As well as the project proposal:
> https://github.com/stratosphere/stratosphere/wiki/GSoC-2014-Project-Proposal-Draft-by-Artem-Tsikiridis
> Most importantly, there is the following **schedule**:
> *19 May - 27 June (Midterm)*
> 1) Work on the Hadoop tasks, their Context and the mapping of Hadoop's
> Configuration to the one of Stratosphere. By successfully bridging the Hadoop
> tasks with Stratosphere, we already cover the most basic Hadoop Jobs. This
> can be determined by running some popular Hadoop examples on Stratosphere
> (e.g. WordCount, k-means, join) (4 - 5 weeks)
> 2) Understand how the running of these jobs works (e.g. command line
> interface) for the wrapper. Implement how will the user run them. (1 - 2
> weeks).
> *27 June - 11 August*
> 1) Continue wrapping more "advanced" Hadoop Interfaces (Comparators,
> Partitioners, Distributed Cache etc.) There are quite a few interfaces and it
> will be a challenge to support all of them. (5 full weeks)
> 2) Profiling of the application and optimizations (if applicable)
> *11 August - 18 August*
> Write documentation on code, write a README with care and add more
> unit-tests. (1 week)
