Alejandro Abdelnur updated HADOOP-3702:
---------------------------------------

    Description: 
On the same input, we usually need to run multiple Maps one after the other without no Reduce. We also have to run multiple Maps after the Reduce.

If all pre-Reduce Maps are chained together and run as a single Map a significant amount of Disk I/O will be avoided. 

Similarly all post-Reduce Maps can be chained together and run in the Reduce phase after the Reduce.

On the same input, we usually need to run multiple Maps one after the other without no Reduce. We also have to run multiple Maps after the Reduce.

If all pre-Reduce Maps are chained together and run as a single Map a significant amount of Disk I/O will be avoided. 

Similarly all post-Reduce Maps can be chained together and run in the Reduce phase after the Reduce.

This could be done with ChainMapper and ChainReducer classes that would manage the chain of Maps and they would override the OutputCollector to implement the chaining.

The Maps and Reduce that are part of the Chain are unware they are executed in a Chain, they receive records via the {{map}} and {{reduce}} methods and do the output via the {{OutputCollector}}.

The API would look something like:

{code:java}

public class ChainMapper implements Mapper {

  public static void addMapper(JobConf job, Class<? extends Mapper> klass, Properties mapperConf);
  ...
}

public class ChainReducer implements Reducer {

  public static void setReducer(JobConf job, Class<? extends Reducer> klass, Properties reducerConf);

  public static void addMapper(JobConf job, Class<? extends Mapper> klass, Properties mapperConf);
  ...
}

{code}

The {{Properties}} configuration passed to the {{Mapper}} and {{Reducer}} when setting them into the chain are injected into a copy of the job's configuration. This allows maps to be configured as usual without being aware that they are in a chain.
