FAQ
Hi, everyone.
In class org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobInProgress, there is a public method:
scheduleReduces(), it will return true if "finishedMapTasks >=
completedMapsForReduceSlowstart"
and then the scheduler can schedule a new reduce task for a given
taskTracker.

but as I konw, reduce can not be started unitl map is 100% completed. Does
anyone can explain it? thanks a lot.

    Even though reduces are scheduled, they just transfer data from maps before
    all maps are completed.The reduce only begins its processing when all maps
    are completed.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    That check ensures sufficient #maps are completed before any of the
    reduces for the job are started.

    The reduces 'shuffle' map outputs from completed maps, but don't get
    into the 'reduce' phase until all map-outputs are copied over.

    And the combiner runs while fetching the outputs right?
