Mariappan Asokan commented on MAPREDUCE-4482:
---------------------------------------------

At this point, it appears to be a difficult task to back-port MAPREDUCE-318 as 
there were more changes incorporated on top of MAPREDUCE-318.  So I am opting 
to refactor {{ReduceCopier}} in {{ReduceTask.java}}.  The shuffle and merge are 
coupled in this class right now.  I will break it into two classes namely 
{{ReduceCopier}} which just does the shuffle(will implement {{ShuffleRunner}} 
discussed in MAPREDUCE-2454) and {{ReduceMerger}} which does the merge.  
{{ReduceMerger}} will implement {{ShuffleCallback}} interface.  The 
{{ShuffleCallback}} interface for 1.x will be slightly different from the one 
submitted for MAPREDUCE-2454 in order to accommodate subtle differences between 
1.x and 2.x in their shuffle code.

I welcome suggestions from other developers.

Thanks.
