  == Reduce ==
  When a reduce task starts, its input is scattered in many files across all the nodes where map tasks ran. If run in
  distributed mode these need to be first copied to the local

  Once all the data is available locally it is appended to one
  file in an ''append phase''. The file is then merge sorted so that the key-value pairs for
  a given key are contiguous (''sort phase''). This makes the actual reduce operation simple: the file is
  read sequentially and the values are passed to the reduce method
  with an iterator reading the input file until the next key
- value is encountered. See [http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/lucene/hadoop/trunk/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/ReduceTask.java?view=markup	 ReduceTask] for details.
