Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-1463:
------------------------------------------

-1

These knobs seem backwards - as both Todd and Amar have pointed out we could 
add heuristics to tweak mapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps 
automatically without adding more config knobs.

> Reducer should start faster for smaller jobs

> Our users often complain about the slowness of smaller ad-hoc jobs.
> The overhead to wait for the reducers to start in this case is significant.
