Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-849:
------------------------------------
The bug fix will be critical for cases where empty map outputs are generated.
RandomWriter is one instance of that but, in general, I think that's not the
usual case.
> randomwriter fails with 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space' in the
> 'reduce' task
