Some information on Hadoop Sort

[aa...@buffalo.edu]

Hello,
      I was wondering if some one could me some information on hadoop does the
sorting. From what I have read there does not seem to be a map class and reduce
class ? Where and how is the sorting parallelized ?

Hi,
the sorting is done by the MapReduce framework. At map side, the output record will first go to a sorting buffer where the sorting, partitioning and combining (if there is combiner) happen. If necessary, multi-phase sorting is done to make a single sorted result for each map task. At reduce side, all the data from multiple map tasks will be merged (each of them is sorted at the map side, you only need merge sort here). It goes multiple rounds if necessary.
