The following query translates into a many-map-single-reduce job (which is common) and also slags through the reduce stage...it's killing the overall query:
select * from a where b >= 'c' order by b desc limit 100 Note that b is a partition. What component is making the reducer heavy? Is it the order by or the limit (I'm sure it's not the partition-specific where clause, right?)? Are there ways to improve its performance? ________________________________________________________________________________ Keith Wiley kwi...@keithwiley.com keithwiley.com music.keithwiley.com "You can scratch an itch, but you can't itch a scratch.
