hi,maillist: i try assign reduce number in commandline but seems not useful,i run tera sort like this
# hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar terasort /alex/terasort/1G-input /alex/terasort/1G-output -Dmapreduce.job.reduces=34 so default mapred-site.xml assign reducer number is 16,i try run it with 34 reducers,but the job run still as 16 reducers number,why? here is some output: Job Counters Launched map tasks=1 Launched reduce tasks=16 Rack-local map tasks=1 Total time spent by all maps in occupied slots (ms)=2318 Total time spent by all reduces in occupied slots (ms)=99714
