Max reducers is set in this file and should be loaded into Properties object by default. {code} public PigServer(ExecType execType) throws ExecException { this(execType, PropertiesUtil.loadDefaultProperties()); } {code} loadDefaultProperties looks for pig-default.properties {code} public static void loadDefaultProperties(Properties properties) { loadPropertiesFromFile(properties, System.getProperty("user.home") + "/.pigrc"); loadPropertiesFromClasspath(properties, DEFAULT_PROPERTIES_FILE); {code} This should be present in your PIG_HOME/conf directory? > pig.exec.reducers.max has no default value > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: PIG-2738 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2738 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Components: impl > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Environment: Kubuntu 12.04 64Bit > Reporter: Johannes Schwenk > Attachments: set-default-for-pig-exec-reducers-max.patch > > > setDefaultsIfUnset in org/apache/pig/impl/util/PropertiesUtil.java does not > set pig.exec.reducers.max to 999 as documented.
