Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-199:
-----------------------------------
Hey Ben,
The previously posted patch "works" for the hints, but uses a manual config
based hint approach instead of an API based one. See the tests in the patch for
an example.
I'll be glad to implement an API wrapper/alternate approach for this as well,
can you post what you may have in mind? We can refine it up from there.

> It would be nice if we could add method to OutputFormat that would allow a
> job to indicate where a reducer for a given partition should should run. This
> is similar to the getSplits() method on InputFormat. In our application the
> reducer is using other data in addition to the map outputs during processing
> and data accesses could be made more efficient if the JobTracker scheduled
> the reducers to run on specific hosts.
