> We have a M/R job that use Mapper + Combiner but have nothing to do in Reducer :
> Bulk indexing of HBase data in ElasticSearch,
> Map output is K / V : #bulk / json_data_to_be_indexed.
> So job is launched maps work, combiners index and a reducer is created for nothing (sometimes waiting for other M/R job to free a tasktracker slot for reducer cf. MAPREDUCE-5019 )
> When we put ```job.setNumReduceTasks(0);``` in our job .run(), mapper are started but combiner are not used.
