[jira] Resolved: (MAPREDUCE-712) TextWritter example is CPU bound!!

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-712?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Owen O'Malley resolved MAPREDUCE-712.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

16 maps on 8 cpus running gzip is expected to completely saturate cpu. This is not a bug!!!

Also check to see if you were using the native codec. If you are using the Java codec, it will be very slow and cpu bound.
