Correct order of various phases of MR job?

Question

I am trying to understand the various phases which a MR Job goes through. I read online documentation for the same.

Based on this, my understand on the sequence is as below:

map() -> Partitioner -> Sorting (at mapper machine) -> Shuffle -> Sorting (at reducer machine) -> groupBy(Key) (at reducer machine) -> reduce()

Is this the correct sequence in which a MR Job executes?

Answer 1

Various phases of a map reduce job:

Map phase:

• Reads assigned input split from HDFS

• Parses input into records as key-value pairs

• Applies map function to each record

• Informs master node of its completion

Partition phase

• Each mapper must determine which reducer will receive each of the outputs

• For any key, destination partition is the same

• No. of partitions = No. of reducers

Shuffle phase

• Fetches input data from all map tasks for the portion corresponding to the reduce task's bucket

Sort phase

• Merge sorts all map outputs into a single run

Reduce phase

• Apply user defined reduce function to merged un

• Argument are the key and corresponding list of values

• Writes output to a file in HDFS

Answer 2

Timeline of Map Reduce Job

• Map Phase: several Map Tasks are executed
• Reduce Phase: several Reduce Tasks are executed

Timeline for MapTask

Timeline for ReduceTask
