I know there is a lot of discussion about JVM reuse in Hadoop, but that usually 
refers to mappers running on the cluste nodesr.  I have a much different 
question.  I am running a Java program which at one point execs hadoop and that 
call sometimes fails in the fashion shown below.  Thus, this issue occurs 
entirely within the client machine (of course, I am currently running in 
pseudo-distributed mode which convolutes that point somewhat).  In other words, 
I successfully ran a Java program, but it failed to subsequently run *another* 
Java program (hadoop).  My interpretation of the hadoop startup scripts (the 
hadoop command itself for example) is that they run a second JVM in my 
scenario, and that they fail to allocate enough memory.

Is there any way to run hadoop from within a JVM such that it reuses the local 
JVM?
