Iam specifying the columns to combine via flow variable (e.g. [First Name, Last Name] and the node accepts it in the included_names variable without issue, BUT the node appears to combine the columns in the order they appear from the main table, not in the order I am specifying.
That is true. By specifying columns using flow variables you can not change/control order. You can use Column Resorter (or Reference Column Resorter) or Table Manipulator node to change define column order before Column Combiner node. Would that work for you?
Thanks for confirming. I have implemented a reference column resorter node right before the column combiner node to put the columns in the same order as specified in my flow variable and this has fixed my issue.
When running a MapReduce job with a specified combiner, is the combiner run during the sort phase? I understand that the combiner is run on mapper output for each spill, but it seems like it would also be beneficial to run during intermediate steps when merge sorting. I'm assuming here that in some stages of the sort, mapper output for some equivalent keys is held in memory at some point.
This happens right after the real mapping is done. During iteration through the buffer it checks if there has a combiner been set and if yes it combines the records. If not, it directly spills onto disk.
This is the right stage to save the disk space and the network bandwidth, because it is very likely that the output has to be transfered.During the merge/shuffle/sort phase it is not beneficial because then you have to crunch more amounts of data in comparision with the combiner run at map finish time.
There are two opportunities for running the Combiner, both on the map side of processing. (A very good online reference is from Tom White's "Hadoop: The Definitive Guide" - -definitive-guide-tom-white-3rd/chapter-6/shuffle-and-sort )
The first opportunity comes on the map side after completing the in-memory sort by key of each partition, and before writing those sorted data to disk. The motivation for running the Combiner at this point is to reduce the amount of data ultimately written to local storage. By running the Combiner here, we also reduce the amount of data that will need to be merged and sorted in the next step. So to the original question posted, yes, the Combiner is already being applied at this early step.
The second opportunity comes right after merging and sorting the spill files. In this case, the motivation for running the Combiner is to reduce the amount of data ultimately sent over the network to the reducers. This stage benefits from the earlier application of the Combiner, which may have already reduced the amount of data to be processed by this step.
I suspect the reason that the combiner only works in this way is that it reduces the amount of data being sent to the reducers. This is a huge gain in many situations. Meanwhile, in the reducer, the data is already there, and whether you combine them in the sort/merge or in your reduce logic is not really going to matter computationally (it's either done now or later).
I haven't gone through the code but in reference to Hadoop : The definitive guide by Tom White 3rd edition, it does mention that if the combiner is specified it will run during the merge phase in the reducer. Following is excerpt from the text:
I would like to move my red pointer laser off of the lens assy and use a beam combiner so that the laser beam and the pointer are always on target. Can any body suggest a beam combiner set up? Europe preferred for shipping, but happy to buy from the USA if not.

A Beam Combiner is a flat window designed to sit at 45deg. to the beam path. If mounted properly this window will transmit 99% of the your Co2 laser beam, and reflect more than 80% of the red laser beam. Use extreme care when mounting this...
The 4 ZONE active antenna combiner takes the complexity and expense out of multi-zone wireless microphone projects. The 4 ZONE combines up to four separate pairs of diversity antenna connections for multi-purpose rooms, indoor-outdoor configurations, or main stages with secondary breakout rooms.
4 ZONE provides individual channel RF signal attenuation control down to -31dB in 1 dB steps, allowing you to fine-tune the RF levels in each coverage area. It also features selectable 12V DC power over coax, which is good for active antennas or in-line amplifiers.
The 4 ZONE has selectable on/off inputs, allowing for quick control of the wireless microphone coverage zones for roaming transmitters. In addition, you can easily choose which zones are active as a live event or location sound project progresses, saving you setup and breakdown time on site.
When used in conjunction with up to four Diversity Fin Antennas and one or more DISTRO4 or DISTRO9HDR antenna distributors, 4 ZONE completes a turnkey package for any multi-zone wireless microphone project across any brand wireless audio system. The 4Zone is also compatible with the CX-22 and RF Spotlight antennas. For larger coverage areas, pairs well with our OPTIX2-S3 RF over Fiber Product

I do not like the screw adjustments, as you have to push the plate against springs, and adjust the nut on the backside, not as easy as the mirrors where you just turn thumb screw. Cloudray should change the Red Dot adjustment to work like a mirror mount.
The COMBINE8 IEM combiner brings together up to eight in-ear monitor transmitter signals into a single rear panel mounted antenna connector.
Any brand IEM set to transmit 50 mW or less may be used, as well as any type of directional antenna. It also provides DC power to up to 8 IEM transmitters with an external power supply, removing the need for wall warts.
IEM transmitter combination is important for multi-channel systems to minimize intermodulation artifacts arising from multiple adjacent transmitters interfering with one another. The CP Beam antenna is a recommended accessory for the COMBINE8 and is available with in a bundled package.
The COMBINE8 is also sold bundled with CP Beam Antenna (CPB). This turnkey bundle includes everything needed to configure up to 8 channels of In-Ear Monitors. Including Premium made in USA low loss double shielded coaxial cabling coax cable.
This concept is not only very robust, but also reduces the use of materials such as copper and plastic by 25%. At the same time, the design enables an easy, fast and safe installation. The integrated PUSH IN technology, for example, reduces installation times and minimizes the risk of errors and the resulting consequences.

I'm making a manufacturing line sumilations where 2 entities representing components enter combiner, where they are being proccessed to a new single entity. How I'm suppoused to terminate those 2 entities that are entering the combiner and generate one new that is leaving? Also, can you combine more that 2 entities in one combiner?
Hi,
A combiner is able to combine 1 or more entities into a parent entity. The number of entities that are batched together is specified in the property Batch Quantity. I recommend looking at the SimBit "Combine Multiple Entity Types Onto Pallets" for an example.
You can also use produce consume material method to add requirements to a process or processing step. You can see it when you change the process type to Task Sequence from Specific time. You can add more than one material requirement by adding tasks in parallel with same sequence number and specificying the material name and quantitiy that will be consumed for each parallel task. In that way you dont need to create and destroy uncessary entitites.
