 Sometimes the reduce is a binary operation, which is associative and commutative, e.g. ''+''. In that case it is inefficient to produce all the (key, value) pairs in the mappers and send them through the network.
-Instead, reducer can be executed right after the map, on //some portion// of values belonging to the same key. Only the results are then sent through the network.

-A Hadoop job can have such locally executed reducer, called //combiner//. If a combiner is specified, the output of a mapper is processed by a combiner before sending the pairs to reducer. The combiner may be invoked 0, 1 or multiple times, usually when the data are written to disk.

 Typically, the combiner is the same as the reducer of a MR job.
