Then the question arises how MRBench is using the parameters : According to the mail he send... he is running MRBench with the following parameter: * hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-0.20/hadoop-test.jar mrbench -maps 10 -reduces 10 *
I guess he is assuming the MRbench to launch 10 mappers and 10 reducers. But he is getting some different results which are visible in the counters and we can use all our map and input-split logics to justify the counter outputs. The question arises here -- how can we use MRBench -- what it provides you ? How can we control it to run with different parameters to do some benchmarking ? Can someone explain how to use MRBench and what it exactly does.
