hive.exec.reducers.bytes.per.reducer=1000000000

please tell me how can of increase the number reducer.

Answer 1

Have you tried to set mapred.reduce.tasks parameter?

Answer 2

Make sure you have gone through the points given below:

Your mapred.reduce.tasks defaults to -1. By setting this property to -1, Hive will automatically figure out what should be the number of reducers.

A hive query with no grouping will be using only 1 reducer.

And also note that when mapred.job.tracker is "local", hadoop sets mapred.reduce.tasks value to 1 by default.
