> currently users have to specify number of reducers. In a multi-user
> environment - we generally ask users to be prudent in selecting number of
> reducers (since they are long running and block other users). Also - large
> number of reducers produce large number of output files - which puts pressure
> on namenode resources.
> there are other map-reduce parameters - for example the min split size and
> the proposed use of combinefileinputformat that are also fairly tricky for
> the user to determine (since they depend on map side selectivity and cluster
> size). This will become totally critical when there is integration with BI
> tools since there will be no opportunity to optimize job settings and there
> will be a wide variety of jobs.
> This jira calls for automating the selection of such parameters - possibly by
> a best effort at estimating map side selectivity/output size using sampling
> and determining such parameters from there.
> Configs:
> hive.exec.reducers.bytes.per.reducer
> hive.exec.reducers.max
> mapred.reduce.tasks
