[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-7277) property mapred.reduce.task replaced by spark.sql.shuffle.partitions

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7277?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14521462#comment-14521462 ] 

Sebastian commented on SPARK-7277:
----------------------------------

Apologies, I wasn't sure which component of Spark is actually responsible for converting those parameters.

>                 Key: SPARK-7277
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7277
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.1
>            Reporter: Sebastian

> When I use "SET mapred.reduce.task" I get the warning "SetCommand: Property mapred.reduce.tasks is deprecated, automatically converted to spark.sql.shuffle.partitions instead."
> It's true that mapred.reduce.task is deprecated but this replacement causes serious trouble:
> Setting mapred.reduce.task to -1 (negative one) is valid and causes hadoop/hive to automatically determine the required number of reducers.
> Setting spark.sql.shuffle.partitions to negative can cause spark to produce incorrect results.
> In my system (spark-sql 1.3.1 running on a single machine in "local" mode), with this setting, any outer join produces no output (whereas an inner join does)
