What happens if the number of reducers is 0 in Hadoop?..

Answer / Namrata

If the number of reducers is set to 0 in a MapReduce job, it will run in the map-only mode. In this case, no data reduction or sorting will be performed, and the output of the map task will be directly written to the filesystem. This can be useful for debugging purposes but may not provide optimal performance for large datasets.
