multiple spills/reducers test case for mergeParts() needed
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-4688
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4688
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Test
          Components: mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.19.1
            Reporter: Yuri Pradkin


The first  patch version (incorrect) for 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4614 exposed a problem that 
existing tests do not exercise some code paths of 
MapOutputBuffer::mergeParts().  In particular, we need a test that would 
validate output when numSpills >1 and partitions >1.

This might be a test that has more than 1 reducer and forces multiple first 
level (map) spills by setting *io.sort.mb* (and possibly 
*io.sort.spill.percent*) to small values.
