Tsuyoshi OZAWA commented on MAPREDUCE-5221:
-------------------------------------------
[~kkambatl]: You're right. However, conf.getCombinerClass() is removed in the
latest patch because CombinerRunner wraps the switch of new or old API. It's
done in MAPREDUCE-5294.
> Reduce side Combiner is not used when using the new API

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5221
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5221
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Siddharth Seth
> Assignee: Tsuyoshi OZAWA

>
> If a combiner is specified using o.a.h.mapreduce.Job.setCombinerClass - this
> will silently ignored on the reduce side since the reduce side usage is only
> aware of the old api combiner.
> This doesn't fail the job - since the new combiner key does not deprecate the
> old key.
