[jira] Created: (HADOOP-23) single node cluster gets one reducer

single node cluster gets one reducer
------------------------------------

         Key: HADOOP-23
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-23
     Project: Hadoop
        Type: Bug
  Components: mapred  
    Reporter: Owen O'Malley
    Priority: Minor


Running on a single node cluster (it runs a job tracker and a single task tracker), even though my application asks for 7 reduces, it only gets one. I haven't tracked down what is happening yet.

[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-23) single node cluster gets one reducer

-------------------------------------

Ok, I found the problem and it was a config file ordering problem.

The problem is that the job's config file is loaded as a default resource and the site config file is a final resource and I had set the number of reduces to one in the site file, because on a single node cluster that seemed like a reasonable default.

Obviously, removing the default in the site file is necessary.

I realize now that is why you created the separate mapred-default.xml. It doesn't feel right to have a config file that is specific for map/reduce, but I think there should be some kind of default config file that the user can override in the job but that is editted by the site.

Things that probably belong there:
  fs.default.name
  mapred.job.tracker
  mapred.map.tasks
  mapred.reduce.tasks

------------------------------------

Look closely at the order the config files are loaded.  This code has been in flux, and may have bugs.
