Hi Chunky This parameter will come into effect only if a query has been parsed to multiple mapreduce jobs and some of them can be executed in parallel. ie all the jobs generated by the query are not linearly dependent and hence needn't be executed sequentially. In all other cases the MR jobs will be executed sequentially and this parameter won't have any effect.

Is it advisable to set this parameter for running queries. Thanks, Chunky.
