Piggybacking Mappers on the Reducer of the previous job step
------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: ADDR-24
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ADDR-24
     Project: Addressing
        Type: New Feature

    Reporter: paul sutter
    Priority: Minor



It would be nice to be able to piggyback the mappers of step N+1 onto the 
reducers of step N.

This would mean having the same number of mappers as reducers, only works for 
multistep jobs, and obviously adds complexity to node failure recovery.

But, it would be a useful speedup since most of the overhead is in 
serialization, buffer copies, disk io, and network io, rather than in the 
mappers and reducers themselves.
