--------------------------------------

             Summary: Reduce cannot use more than 2G memory  for the final merge
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-5649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5649
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mrv2
    Affects Versions: trunk
            Reporter: stanley shi


In the org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.task.reduce.MergeManagerImpl.java file, in 
the finalMerge method: 

 int maxInMemReduce = (int)Math.min(
        Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() * maxRedPer, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
 
This means no matter how much memory user has, reducer will not retain more 
than 2G data in memory before the reduce phase starts.
