dhruba borthakur commented on MAPREDUCE-1463: --------------------------------------------- @Arun: are you suggesting that the job submission process first generate the input splits, then determines if the number of map tasks is smaller than a certain value, and if so then set mapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps to zero? > Reducer should start faster for smaller jobs > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1463 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1463 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: jobtracker > Reporter: Scott Chen > Assignee: Scott Chen > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-1463-v1.patch, MAPREDUCE-1463-v2.patch, > MAPREDUCE-1463-v3.patch > > > Our users often complain about the slowness of smaller ad-hoc jobs. > The overhead to wait for the reducers to start in this case is significant. > It will be good if we can start the reducer sooner in this case. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
