I noticed that phenomena right off the bat. Is that a designed "feature" or just an unhappy consequence of how blocks are allocated? Ted compensates for this by aggressively rebalancing his cluster often by adjusting the replication up and down, but I wonder if an improvement in the allocation stra

Hi, I am using a mini-cluster of three machines and on them experimented with severel different (sometimes strrange) reduce settings (from one single reduce per machine to 10 per machine). ...and the result is (basically) always the same, .i.e. the process gets stucked (or at least very slow)

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could explain the possible interaction effects between the different methods available to control key sorting. Based on my understanding, there are three separate knobs: - a WritableComparable's compareTo method - registering a WritableComparator optimizat
