However it does not release the reference to > the output stream within the MapOutput, and the output stream can have a 128K > buffer attached to it. If enough of these on-disk outputs are queued up > waiting to be merged, it can cause the reducer to OOM during the shuffle > phase. In one case I saw there were 1200 on-disk outputs queued up to be > merged, leading to an extra 150MB of pressure on the heap due to the output > stream buffers that were no longer necessary. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
