Explain map-only job?..

Answer / Neeraj Kamal

A Map-Only job is a type of Hadoop job where only the Mapper is executed, and there are no Reducers. The output from the Mapper itself serves as the final result. This kind of job is used when the processing in the Mapper can produce the desired outcome without needing further aggregation or sorting.
