Hi guys,

    I'm trying to sort a 2.5 GB sequence file in one mapper using its
implemented Sort function, but it's taking long that the map is killed for
not reporting .

I would increase the default time to get reports from the mapper, but I'll
do this only if sorting using SequenceFile.sorter is known to be optimal ...
Any one knows ?
Or other suggested options?

    Thanks,

    Mark
