Hi All,

I was looking at the jobtracker metrics and it seems to be able to give me:
jobs_completed, jobs_submitted, maps_completed, maps_launched, reduces_completed, reduces_launched.

I was wondering what maps launched mean? Is this only the number of maps assigned to the task trackers?

I was wondering if it's possible to get the total number of maps that will be generated for a corresponding job?
Thanks,
Harold

maps_launched and reduces_launched are metrics that are incremented
every time a map / reduce task is picked by the scheduler to be
launched on a TaskTracker.

I am not entirely sure of this, but can you try to see if
JobClient.getMapTaskReports(jobid).length works ? There are equivalent
APIs in the newer Job class as well.
