    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-513?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12878775#action_12878775 ] 

Scott Carey commented on AVRO-513:
----------------------------------

bq. Not sure about an interrupt signal being intercepted, or not being delivered. But I think it's possible that the interrupt occurs between the check on "done" and the call to take(), so the call to take() would go ahead and cause a deadlock.

I think all Java blocking I/O and queue operations check the interrupted status on the thread before sleeping/waiting.  Or more precisely --the JVM checks it before the thread yields, and will throw the interrupted exception if the flag is set.

> The Java mapreduce API added in AVRO-493 requires reducers implementations to explicitly detect sequences of matching data.
> Rather the reduce method might better look something like:
>    void reduce(Iterator<IN>, Collector<OUT>);
> Where all equal values are passed in a single call.
