Tom White commented on MAPREDUCE-956:
-------------------------------------
The sort phase is actually when the map-outputs are being merged prior to being
fed to the reducer. Could you give a bit more detail about what has changed -
presumably the merging still takes place, so perhaps "sort phase" should just
be renamed to "merge phase".
> Shuffle should be broken down to only two phases (copy/reduce) instead of
> three (copy/sort/reduce)

> For the progress calculations and displaying on the UI, shuffle, in its
> current form, is decomposed into three phases (copy/sort/reduce). Actually,
> the sort phase is no longer applicable. I think we should just reduce the
> number of phases to two and assign 50% weight-age to each of copy and reduce
> phases. Thoughts?
