[jira] Reopened: (HADOOP-645) Map-reduce task does not finish correctly when -reducer NONE is specified

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-645?page=all ]

dhruba borthakur reopened HADOOP-645:
-------------------------------------

             
This issue is not completely fixed. My fix improves the situation but does not solve all of the issues reported:

it is completely broken --
(a) the task fails       ---  THIS PART IS FIXED BY MY PREVIOUS PATCH
(b) a file is create for the output instead of a directory.
(c) there is no way to understand what is going on from the client output

I can produce an example for you, if you like -- but the behavior is consistent, so $HSTREAM -mapper /bin/cat -reducer NONE should show the problem

> Map-reduce task does not finish correctly when -reducer NONE is specified, The NONE option means that the reducer should not be generating any output. Using this option causes an exception in the task tracker:
