Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-2454:
------------------------------------------
It's conceivable that we may take several directions, including push shuffle
etc., which will require a sorter and not a merger.
IAC, it's too early to call - hence I'd prefer we keep current semantics since
they don't make a big difference either way, correct?
Thanks.
