Moving to mapreduce-user@, bcc common-u...@. Please use project
specific lists.

mapreduce.reduce.slowstart.completed.maps is the right knob. Which version of hadoop are you running? If it isn't working, please open a jira. Thanks.

Hello,

I found in Hadoop that reducers starts when a fraction of the number of mappers is complete. However, in my case, I hope reducers to start only when all mappers are complete. I searched for Hadoop configuration parameters, and found mapred.reduce.slowstart.completed.maps, which seems to do what I want. But no
matter what value (0.99, 1.00, etc) I set to
mapred.reduce.slowstart.completed.maps, reducers always start to execute when
about 10% of mappers are complete.

Do I set the right parameter? Is there any other parameter I can use for this
purpose?

Thanks,
Da
