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?

"You can scratch an itch, but you can't itch a scratch. Furthermore, an itch can
itch but a scratch can't scratch. Finally, a scratch can itch, but an itch can't
scratch. All together this implies: He scratched the itch from the scratch that
itched but would never itch the scratch from the itch that scratched."
