Hello,

Could someone please help me to understand these configuration parameters in
depth.

mapred.map.tasks and mapred.reduce.tasks

It is mentioned that default value of these parameters is 2 and 1.

*What does it mean?*

Does it mean 2 maps and 1 reduce per node.

Does it mean 2 maps and 1 reduce in total (for the cluster). Or

Does it mean 2 maps and 1 reduce per Job.

Can we change maps and reduce for default example Jobs such as Wordcount
etc. too?

At the same time, I believe that total number of maps are dependent upon
input data size?


Please help me understand these two parameters clearly.

Thanks in advance,
Amit
