Chinna Rao Lalam commented on HIVE-2495: ---------------------------------------- I have verified with trunk code if set a value for "mapred.reduce.tasks" this property it will take effect and it will start that many reducers. Can u add u r scenario with little more details. What is the suggested value for setting number of reducers is http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setNumReduceTasks(int). > set mapred.reduce.tasks does not work > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2495 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2495 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jander G > > Setting mapred.reduce.tasks does not work.

Thus there is a way to set a constant reduce for experienced people. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
