Subroto Sanyal commented on MAPREDUCE-3376:
-------------------------------------------
The OldCombinerRunner gets a valid reference of an reporter while
creation(constructor). We can pass the same value instead of passing NULL
reporter to:
{code}
combiner.reduce(values.getKey(), values, combineCollector,
Reporter.NULL)
{code}
> Old mapred API combiner uses NULL reporter

> Key: MAPREDUCE-3376
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3376
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mrv1, mrv2
> Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0, 0.23.0, 0.24.0

> The OldCombinerRunner class inside Task.java uses a NULL Reporter. If the
> combiner code runs for an extended period of time, even with reporting
> progress as it should, the map task can timeout and be killed. It appears
> that the NewCombinerRunner class uses a valid reporter and as such is not
> impacted by this bug.
