Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-253:
------------------------------------

In hadoop18, combiner is no longer guaranteed to be called exactly once. Now it 
can be called 0 or more times on both map and reduce side.

Pig code as is assumes that combiner is called exactly once. Hadoop guys added 
a flag to JobConf to restore backward compatibility for 1 release which will 
give us a chance to comply with the change.

Once I made a change and picked new hadoop18.jar, one of the unit tests never 
finishes. Will attache the verbose log next
