Gopal V commented on TEZ-2198:
------------------------------
[~rajesh.balamohan]: The example seems to not match the description.
It should be
With pipelining :
===========
ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT = 0 <-- Additional spills involved in sorting
TOTAL_SPILL_COUNT = 5 <--- All spills are in task are final
The easier thing to remember is that ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT includes only
spills which are read by the same task that produced the spill, because they
are additional read IO in the output phase.
The TOTAL_SPILL_COUNT is the number of files being offered via shuffle-handler
(indirectly related to the number of DME events & shuffle fetcher requests).

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-2198
> Project: Apache Tez
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Rajesh Balamohan
>
> Prior to pipelined shuffle, tez merged all spilled data into a single file.
> This ended up creating one index file and one output file. In this context,
> TaskCounter.ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT was referred as the number of additional
> spills and there was no counter needed to track the number of merges.
> With pipelined shuffle, there is no final merge and ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT
> would be misleading, as these spills are direct output files which are
> consumed by the consumers.
> It would be good to have the following
> - ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT: represents the spills that are needed by the task
> to generate the final merged output
> - TOTAL_SPILLS: represents the total number of shuffle directories (index +
> output files) that got created at the end of processing.
> For e.g, Assume sorter generated 5 spills in an attempt
> Without pipelining:
> ==============
> ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT = 5 <-- Additional spills involved in sorting
> TOTAL_SPILLS = 1 <-- Final merged output
> With pipelining:
> ============
> ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT = 5 <-- Additional spills involved in sorting
> TOTAL_SPILLS = 0 <--- No final output
