Zhaoning Zhang commented on MAPREDUCE-1333:
-------------------------------------------

virtual machines in the XenServer cluster, some nodes are allocated with 1 cpu 
and some nodes with 2 or 3.
but I think it's a inter-dependence structure problem, the reduce will always 
waiting for the maps to finish its tasks, why not let the maps to use full 
resources separately?

> Parallel running tasks on one single node may slow down the performance

>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jobtracker, task, tasktracker
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
>            Reporter: Zhaoning Zhang
>
> When I analysis running tasks performance, I found that parallel running 
> tasks on one single node will not be better performance than the serialized 
> ones.
> We can set mapred.tasktracker.{map|reduce}.tasks.maximum = 1 individually, 
> but there will be parallel map AND reduce tasks.
> And I wonder it's true in the real commercial clusters?
