Hi,

Is there a reference on how the number of reducers required for a job is calculated?

Thanks

The PARALLEL keyword controls the number of reducers used in the job.
If unspecified, a default number is applied. Is this what you're
looking for?

SET default_parallel X; will set the PARALLEL keyword for all parallel
functions (ie set the reducers for the job)

I am not sure how the default is calculated...for a while it was set to 1 I
believe, ostensibly to force people to set it to something more reasonable.

In pig 0.8 the default number of reducers changed from 1 to a value computed based on input data size -
