one thing that we didn't take care is the use of the hadoop parameter 
"mapred.reduce.tasks".
If I specify the hadoop parameter -Dmapred.reduce.tasks=450 for all the MR jobs 
, it is overwritten by estimateNumberOfReducers(conf,mro), which in my case is 
15.
I am not specifying any default_parallel and PARALLEL statements.
Ideally, the number of reducer should be 450.

I think we should prioritize this parameter above the estimate reducers 
calculations.
The priority list should be

1. PARALLEL statement
2. default_parallel statement
3. mapred.reduce.task hadoop parameter
4. estimateNumberOfreducers();
