Hello, How can one get to know the nodes on which reduce tasks will run?
One of my job is running and it's completing all the map tasks. My map tasks write lots of intermediate data. The intermediate directory is getting full on all the nodes. If the reduce task take any node from cluster then It'll try to copy the data to same disk and it'll eventually fail due to Disk space related exceptions. I have added few more tasktracker nodes in the cluster and now want to run reducer on new nodes only. Is it possible to choose a node on which the reducer will run? What's the algorithm hadoop uses to get a new node to run reducer? Thanks in advance. Bye Abhay
