> When I enforce bucketing and fix the number of reducers via
> mapred.reduce.tasks Hive ignores my input and instead takes the largest value
> <= hive.exec.reducers.max that is also an even divisor of num_buckets. In
> other words, if I set 1024 buckets and set mapred.reduce.tasks=1024 I'll get.
> . . 256 reducers. If I set 1997 buckets and set mapred.reduce.tasks=1997 I'll
> get. . . 1 reducer.
> This is totally crazy, and it's far, far crazier when the data inputs get
> large. In the latter case the bucketing job will almost certainly fail
> because we'll most likely try to stuff several TB of input through a single
> reducer. We'll also drastically reduce the effectiveness of bucketing, since
> the buckets themselves will be larger.
> If the user sets mapred.reduce.tasks in a query that inserts into a bucketed
> table we should either accept that value or raise an exception if it's
> invalid relative to the number of buckets. We should absolutely NOT override
> the user's direction and fall back on automatically allocating reducers based
> on some obscure logic dictated by completely different setting.
> I have yet to encounter a single person who expected this the first time, so
> it's clearly a bug.
