Harsh J resolved MAPREDUCE-199.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This has been debated many times and the end reason has always been that there just isn't any merit in trying to schedule reducers with given locality (or hints of).

Resolving this old old one but am sure there were more recent tickets closed with the same result.

> It would be nice if we could add method to OutputFormat that would allow a job to indicate where a reducer for a given partition should should run. This is similar to the getSplits() method on InputFormat. In our application the reducer is using other data in addition to the map outputs during processing and data accesses could be made more efficient if the JobTracker scheduled the reducers to run on specific hosts.
