Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-5051:
------------------------------------------------
In trunk it is the MergeManagerImpl that calls the combiner
./hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/task/reduce/MergeManagerImpl.java
In branch-1 MapTask.java itself handles the combiner code. You can look at
Task.java for some of the implementations of it.
> Combiner not used when NUM_REDUCES=0

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5051
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5051
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mrv1
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha
> Environment: CDH4.1.2 MR1
> Reporter: Damien Hardy
>
> We have a M/R job that use Mapper + Combiner but have nothing to do in
> Reducer :
> Bulk indexing of HBase data in ElasticSearch,
> Map output is K / V : #bulk / json_data_to_be_indexed.
> So job is launched maps work, combiners index and a reducer is created for
> nothing (sometimes waiting for other M/R job to free a tasktracker slot for
> reducer cf. MAPREDUCE-5019 )
> When we put ```job.setNumReduceTasks(0);``` in our job .run(), mapper are
> started but combiner are not used.
