public class JobConf
extends Configuration
```
A map/reduce job configuration.
JobConf is the primary interface for a user to describe a map-reduce job to the Hadoop framework for execution. The framework tries to faithfully execute the job as-is described by JobConf, however:
1. Some configuration parameters might have been marked as final by administrators and hence cannot be altered.
2. While some job parameters are straight-forward to set (e.g. setNumReduceTasks(int)), some parameters interact subtly with the rest of the framework and/or job-configuration and is relatively more complex for the user to control finely (e.g. setNumMapTasks(int)).
JobConf typically specifies the Mapper, combiner (if any), Partitioner, Reducer, InputFormat and OutputFormat implementations to be used etc.
Optionally JobConf is used to specify other advanced facets of the job such as Comparators to be used, files to be put in the DistributedCache, whether or not intermediate and/or job outputs are to be compressed (and how), debugability via user-provided scripts ( setMapDebugScript(String)/setReduceDebugScript(String)), for doing post-processing on task logs, task's stdout, stderr, syslog. and etc.

Here is an example on how to configure a job via JobConf:
```
     // Create a new JobConf
     JobConf job = new JobConf(new Configuration(), MyJob.class);
     
     // Specify various job-specific parameters     
     job.setJobName("myjob");
     
     FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, new Path("in"));
     FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path("out"));
     
     job.setMapperClass(MyJob.MyMapper.class);
     job.setCombinerClass(MyJob.MyReducer.class);
     job.setReducerClass(MyJob.MyReducer.class);
     
     job.setInputFormat(SequenceFileInputFormat.class);
     job.setOutputFormat(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class);
 
```

```
public void setCombinerKeyGroupingComparator(Class<? extends RawComparator> theClass)
```
    Set the user defined RawComparator comparator for grouping keys in the input to the combiner.
    This comparator should be provided if the equivalence rules for keys for sorting the intermediates are different from those for grouping keys before each call to Reducer.reduce(Object, java.util.Iterator, OutputCollector, Reporter).
    
    For key-value pairs (K1,V1) and (K2,V2), the values (V1, V2) are passed in a single call to the reduce function if K1 and K2 compare as equal.
    
    Since setOutputKeyComparatorClass(Class) can be used to control how keys are sorted, this can be used in conjunction to simulate secondary sort on values.
    
    Note: This is not a guarantee of the combiner sort being stable in any sense. (In any case, with the order of available map-outputs to the combiner being non-deterministic, it wouldn't make that much sense.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    theClass - the comparator class to be used for grouping keys for the combiner. It should implement RawComparator.
    
    See Also:

    Returns:
    
    the number of map tasks for this job.
  - setNumMapTasks
```
public void setNumMapTasks(int n)
```
    Set the number of map tasks for this job.
    Note: This is only a hint to the framework. The actual number of spawned map tasks depends on the number of InputSplits generated by the job's InputFormat.getSplits(JobConf, int). A custom InputFormat is typically used to accurately control the number of map tasks for the job.
    How many maps?
    The number of maps is usually driven by the total size of the inputs i.e. total number of blocks of the input files.
    
    The right level of parallelism for maps seems to be around 10-100 maps per-node, although it has been set up to 300 or so for very cpu-light map tasks. Task setup takes awhile, so it is best if the maps take at least a minute to execute.
    
    The default behavior of file-based InputFormats is to split the input into logical InputSplits based on the total size, in bytes, of input files. However, the FileSystem blocksize of the input files is treated as an upper bound for input splits. A lower bound on the split size can be set via mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.minsize.
    
    Thus, if you expect 10TB of input data and have a blocksize of 128MB, you'll end up with 82,000 maps, unless setNumMapTasks(int) is used to set it even higher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - the number of map tasks for this job.
    
    See Also:
    
    InputFormat.getSplits(JobConf, int), FileInputFormat, FileSystem.getDefaultBlockSize(), FileStatus.getBlockSize()
  - getNumReduceTasks
```
public int getNumReduceTasks()
```
    Get the configured number of reduce tasks for this job. Defaults to 1.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of reduce tasks for this job.
  - setNumReduceTasks
```
public void setNumReduceTasks(int n)
```
    Set the requisite number of reduce tasks for this job. How many reduces?
    The right number of reduces seems to be 0.95 or 1.75 multiplied by ( available memory for reduce tasks (The value of this should be smaller than numNodes * yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb since the resource of memory is shared by map tasks and other applications) / mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb).
    
    With 0.95 all of the reduces can launch immediately and start transfering map outputs as the maps finish. With 1.75 the faster nodes will finish their first round of reduces and launch a second wave of reduces doing a much better job of load balancing.
    
    Increasing the number of reduces increases the framework overhead, but increases load balancing and lowers the cost of failures.
    
    The scaling factors above are slightly less than whole numbers to reserve a few reduce slots in the framework for speculative-tasks, failures etc.
    Reducer NONE
    It is legal to set the number of reduce-tasks to zero.
    
    In this case the output of the map-tasks directly go to distributed file-system, to the path set by FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(JobConf, Path). Also, the framework doesn't sort the map-outputs before writing it out to HDFS.
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - the number of reduce tasks for this job.
  - getMaxMapAttempts
```
public int getMaxMapAttempts()

public String getJobLocalDir()
```
    Get job-specific shared directory for use as scratch space
    When a job starts, a shared directory is created at location ${mapreduce.cluster.local.dir}/taskTracker/$user/jobcache/$jobid/work/. This directory is exposed to the users through mapreduce.job.local.dir . So, the tasks can use this space as scratch space and share files among them.
    This value is available as System property also.
