> Key: HBASE-26398
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26398
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mapreduce
> Affects Versions: 2.2.7, 2.5.0, 3.0.0-alpha-2, 2.3.7, 2.4.8
> Reporter: Istvan Toth
> Assignee: Istvan Toth
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.5.0, 2.2.8, 3.0.0-alpha-2, 2.3.8, 2.4.9

>
> CellCounter dumps all cell coordinates into its output, which can become huge.
> The spill can fill the local disk on the reducer.
> CellCounter hardcodes *mapreduce.job.reduces* to *1*, so it is not possible to use multiple reducers to get around this.
> Fixing this is easy, by not hardcoding *mapreduce.job.reduces*, it still defaults to 1, but can be overriden by the user.
> CellCounter also generates two extra records with constant keys for each cell, which have to be processed by the reducer.
> Even with multiple reducers, these (1/3 of the totcal records) will go the same reducer, which can also fill up the disk.
> This can be fixed by adding a Combiner to the Mapper, which sums the counter records, thereby reducing the Mapper output records to 1/3 of their previous amount, which can be evenly distibuted between the reducers.
