Is map-reduce-merge coming?

Just read the map-reduce-merge paper by the Yahoo! folks.  It seems
there's nothing fancy:just combined two map-reduce together and use a
merge for coordination.
But still, it would be great to see how it works.  I'm wondering if
there is on-going effort to put this into the hbase impl? Or does hadoop
has this already?

HBase can be a source or a sink of any Hadoop map/reduce operation. To do joins, or other relational operations requires a custom map/reduce application.

In the future, when there are connectors for PIG or HIVE, custom map/reduce connectors will not be required. However there are currently no connectors between HBase or PIG/HIVE.

So?
Hadoop already supports performing join using mapreduce, with Hbase as
source or sink?

HBase can be a source or a sink for map/reduce operations. See
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapred.*
