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

Actually, assuming we have a reasonable model, I'd do it on the JobTracker, 
maybe in JobInProgress.initTasks i.e. during job-initialization.



> 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.
> It will be good if we can start the reducer sooner in this case.
