Hi All I submit 5 K-Means Jobs simultaneously, my Hadoop cluster have 42 map
and 42 reduce slots configured, I set the default reduce task per job as 73 (42
* 1.75), I find there are always about 12 of the reduce tasks are running at
any time although there are 73 reduce tasks created for each of the K-Means job
and i do have 42 reduce slots, it means at anytime i have about 30 reduce slots
free. So i tried RecommenderJob from mahout again, i remember that job will use
all my slots in my previouse test, and YES for this time,
"RowSimilarityJob-CooccurrencesMapper-Reducer" do use all the slots 42 reduce
and 42 map, so I'm wondering is that something configured in Mahout which cause
this strange behavior? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Btw, i'm using
mahout-0.6 release. Cheers Ramon
