-------------------------------------

+1 to such a test!

> 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.
