---------------------------------
Linked to HBASE-13897 as well.
> Replace *SortReducers with Hadoop Secondary Sort
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-7743
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7743
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: mapreduce, Performance
> Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> The mapreduce package provides two Reducer implementations,
> KeyValueSortReducer and PutSortReducer, which are used by Import, ImportTsv,
> and WALPlayer in conjunction with the HFileOutputFormat. Both of these
> implementations make use of a TreeSet to sort values matching a key. This
> reducer will OOM when rows are large.
> A better solution would be to implement secondary sort of the values. That
> way hadoop sorts the records, spilling to disk when necessary.
