Tom White commented on MAPREDUCE-1287:
--------------------------------------

What size of performance gain does this change give?

This might be better done in the framework, by using a special partitioner in 
the single reduce case. A class called, say, SinglePartitionPartitioner whose 
getPartition() method always returns 0.


> HashPartitioner calls hashCode() when there is only 1 reducer
