从groupby 理解mapper-reducer

注，reduce之前已经shuff。

http://zheming.wang/blog/2015/05/19/3AFF5BE8-593C-4F76-A72A-6A40FB140D4D/

简单地说，reduce任务在执行之前的工作就是不断地拉取每个map任务的最终结果，然后对从不同地方拉取过来的数据不断地做merge，也最终形成一个文件作为reduce任务的输入文件。下图reducer部分可能会有误导...

mapper.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""mapper.py"""

import sys

# input comes from STDIN (standard input)
for line in sys.stdin:
    # remove leading and trailing whitespace
    line = line.strip()
    # split the line into words
    words = line.split()
    # increase counters
    for word in words:
        # write the results to STDOUT (standard output);
        # what we output here will be the input for the
        # Reduce step, i.e. the input for reducer.py
        #
        # tab-delimited; the trivial word count is 1
        print '%s	%s' % (word, 1)

reducer.py   

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""reducer.py"""

from operator import itemgetter
import sys

current_word = None
current_count = 0
word = None

# input comes from STDIN
for line in sys.stdin:
    # remove leading and trailing whitespace
    line = line.strip()

    # parse the input we got from mapper.py
    word, count = line.split('	', 1)

    # convert count (currently a string) to int
    try:
        count = int(count)
    except ValueError:
        # count was not a number, so silently
        # ignore/discard this line
        continue

    # this IF-switch only works because Hadoop sorts map output
    # by key (here: word) before it is passed to the reducer
    if current_word == word:
        current_count += count
    else:
        if current_word:
            # write result to STDOUT
            print '%s	%s' % (current_word, current_count)
        current_count = count
        current_word = word

# do not forget to output the last word if needed!
if current_word == word:
    print '%s	%s' % (current_word, current_count)
