Re: where reduce is copying?

[Harsh J <ha...@cloudera.com>]

The speed shown there is to be taken with a grain of salt. It is an
average value measured from the initiation of its phase. So if the
reduce is waiting for more map outputs to be available, having started
earlier (default is at 5% of maps completed) then the wait period is
also counted into this rate and thereby drops down in value even
though the real copy speed may be higher. A better way to check would
be to simply measure the network traffic if you want to.
