Re: temporary table size is 0, which makes reducer number too small

[陈竞]

i may found the root cause in my case：

public void materializeAt(SourceTarget<S> sourceTarget) {
  this.materializedAt = sourceTarget;
  this.size = materializedAt.getSize(getPipeline().getConfiguration());
}


@Override
public long getSize() {
    if (size < 0) {
        this.size = getSizeInternal();
    }
    return size;
}

PColletionImpl.materializeAt(sourceTarget) this method will be invoked when
node splits to create temporary table, source sourceTarget binds with the
new temporary table whose size is 0, since its path was just created, the
this.size will be 0. After that, when getSize() was invoked by setting
reduce number, since the size is 0, it will just return 0, which makes
reduce number too small.

So i think the code of materializeAt() should check sourceTarget's
size, like below:

public void materializeAt(SourceTarget<S> sourceTarget) {
  this.materializedAt = sourceTarget;
  long size = materializedAt.getSize(getPipeline().getConfiguration());

  if (size > 0)

      this.size = size;

}
