    <name>mapred.reduce.tasks</name>
    <value>20</value>
  </property>

Hi Sasha

By default the number or reducers are set to be 1. If you want more you need to 
specify it as

hadoop jar myJar.jar myClass -D mapred.reduce.tasks=20 ...

Subject: number of reducers



Hi,

  I wrote a simple map reduce job in hadoop streaming.



I am wondering if I am doing something wrong ..

While number of mappers are projected to be around 1700.. reducers.. just 1?

It's couple of TB's worth of data.

What can I do to address this.

Basically mapper looks like this



For line in sys.stdin:

    Print line



Reducer

For line in sys.stdin:

    New_line = process_line(line)

    Print new_line





Thanks
